disc prolapse

A herniated disc occurs when the soft core of a disc protrudes between the vertebrae and presses on adjacent nerves or the spinal cord. This can cause severe back pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the extremities. Treatment can be conservative with rest, physiotherapy, pain medication and targeted exercises or, in more severe cases, surgical. Rehabilitation aims to restore mobility and strengthen back muscles to prevent relapses.
