The discs in your spine sit between the vertebrae, acting as cushions that absorb shock and protect your spinal bones. Inside these discs is a gel-like substance that provides flexibility and shock absorption.
A herniated disc occurs when some or all of this gel-like substance escapes from the disc and enters the spinal canal. This can lead to a range of symptoms, from mild discomfort to severe pain, depending on the extent of the prolapse and whether it impinges on any nerves. It can also be referred to as a ‘Slipped Disc’ or ‘Disc Prolapse.’
