A slipped disc, also known as a herniated or prolapsed disc, is a common spinal condition that occurs when the soft inner portion of a spinal disc pushes through its outer layer. This can put pressure on nearby nerves, leading to pain, discomfort, and reduced mobility.

Symptoms of Slipped Disc

• Persistent back or neck pain
• Pain radiating to arms or legs (sciatica)
• Numbness or tingling sensation
• Muscle weakness
• Difficulty in movement or bending

Causes

Slipped discs can occur due to:

• Age-related wear and tear (degeneration)
• Sudden injury or trauma
• Improper lifting techniques
• Sedentary lifestyle
• Obesity and poor posture
