Slipped disc or herniated disc is a condition that occurs when the gel-like center of the spinal disc ruptures through a weak area in the outer wall called the annulus. It is most common in the lower back (lumbar spine), though it can also occur in the neck (cervical spine). Symptoms include pain in the lower back as well as leg pain (sciatica). Even though a slipped disc can be extremely painful, symptoms are usually short-lived. Practicing some simple physiotherapy exercises and giving proper rest to the lower back can bring relief. Depending on the size of the herniation and the position of the herniated disc, symptoms can vary greatly. The patient may experience a slight pain in the lower back or no pain at all if the slipped disc does not press a nerve. It usually occurs because of disc degeneration, a natural process that can lead to a herniated disc because of age-related wear, tear and pressure on the spine. With advancing age, the naturally present water content of the disc decreases, making them less flexible. Due to the shrinkage of these discs, the space between the vertebrae keeps getting narrower, making the discs more prone to herniation. A sudden stressful motion while lifting heavy weights or shock during an injury can also cause the gel-like inner material of the disc to ‘slip’ out. Certain factors can increase the risk of developing a herniated disc including gender, sedentary lifestyle, weight, physical strain, and consumption of tobacco.
