If you’re dealing with the persistent discomfort or pain of a herniated disc, Arkansas Surgical Hospital offers comprehensive, patient-centered treatment options to help you get back to a pain-free life. A herniated disc, also called a slipped or ruptured disc, occurs when the soft cushion-like tissue between the vertebrae in your spine pushes out from its natural position, often pressing on nearby nerves. This can lead to pain, numbness, or weakness in your back, neck, arms, or legs, depending on the affected area.
Symptoms of a Herniated Disc
Herniated disc symptoms can vary, but common signs include:
- Persistent or severe pain in the neck, lower back, or extremities
- Tingling or numbness in arms, hands, legs, or feet
- Muscle weakness
- Difficulty moving without pain
- Pain that intensifies with certain movements, such as bending or twisting
