Disc herniation occurs when the soft inner portion of an intervertebral disc protrudes through its outer layer, often compressing nearby nerves. This can cause back or neck pain, radiating leg or arm pain, numbness, or weakness. It usually develops due to aging, poor posture, heavy lifting, or spinal injuries. Evidence-based physiotherapy helps reduce pain, restore mobility, and prevent recurrence with targeted exercises and lifestyle guidance.
Causes Of Disc Herniation:
- Age-related disc degeneration
- Poor posture and prolonged sitting
- Heavy lifting with improper technique
- Sudden twisting or spinal trauma
- Repetitive strain from work or sports
- Obesity and weak core muscles
- Genetic predisposition
Symptoms Of Disc Herniation:
- Localized back or neck pain
- Radiating pain to arms (cervical) or legs (lumbar sciatica)
- Tingling, numbness, or burning sensation in limbs
- Muscle weakness in affected areas
- Pain worsening with bending, coughing, or sneezing
- Reduced flexibility and mobility
