Herniated Discs

« Back to Glossary Index

A herniated disc is a back or neck injury where the soft inner material of an intervertebral disc protrudes through the outer layer, potentially compressing nerves and causing pain, numbness, or weakness, often arising from trauma like a car accident or fall

Note:

The MRI is the preferred imaging method for diagnosing herniated discs. MRI provides detailed images of the spinal cord, nerve roots, and intervertebral discs, allowing for precise identification of the herniation and nerve compression.
