What causes a herniated disc & lower back pain?

Basically your discs act as shock absorbers between the vertebrae, providing smooth flexiblity and adequate space for nerves, muscles and ligaments traveling through your spine. When you suffer some sort of traumatic injury or strain your back with heavy lifting or develop a degenerative spine disorder such as spinal stenosis, your discs may be at risk of herniation.

Sometimes referred to as a slipped disc, a herniated disc is the medical term for when pressure causes the jelly-type center of the disc to push against the tough outer ring of the disc. This squeezes the disc, and the center disc fiber may even push through and bulge toward the spinal canal. Pressure on the spinal nerves results in severe lower back pain. At times, pain may even shoot down the lower back and into the leg in a condition called sciatica.

Symptoms of disc herniation

Symptoms of a herniated disc differ based on the types of soft tissue affected and the location of the herniation, so patients can experience different levels of pain from the injury. With proper care, your back injury may heal in a few weeks of with anti-inflammatory treatments, some may patients require back surgery to correct the problem.
