Understanding Disc Injuries
Your spine is made up of vertebrae, with intervertebral discs acting as cushions between them. These discs have a tough outer ring and a soft, gel-like center. They play a crucial role in allowing your spine to move flexibly while protecting your vertebrae from rubbing against each other.
Sometimes, these discs can become damaged, leading to conditions such as:
- Protruding discs: Where the inner gel area bulges outward
- Herniated discs: When the disc ruptures, causing the gel to bulge
- Disc extrusion: The most severe form, where the gel expands away from or breaks off the disc
Recognizing the Signs of a Disc Injury
Disc injuries can cause a range of symptoms due to inflammation and nerve irritation. You might experience:
- Persistent back or neck pain
- Numbness or weakness in your legs or feet
- Tingling sensations or pain radiating down your leg (sciatica)
- Limited mobility or difficulty with certain movements
If you’re noticing any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek care promptly to prevent further damage and start your journey to recovery.
