What is Herniated Disc ?

As a disc degenerates, it can herniate .

That means the inner core leaks out , which is known as a disc herniation or a herniated disc.

The weak spot in the outer core of the disc is directly under the spinal nerve root, so a herniation in this area puts direct pressure on the nerve, which in turn can cause a pain that radiates all the way down the patient’s leg to the foot.
