A herniated, or a slipped, disk occurs when all or part of a spinal disk is intensely forced through a weakened part of the disk. This places pressure on nearby nerves. The lower back (lumbar area) of the spine is the most common area for a slipped disk. These disks may become herniated (move out of place) or rupture from trauma or strain. When this happens, the spinal nerves may become compressed, resulting in pain, numbness, or even weakness. The cervical, also known as neck, disks are affected 8% of the time. The upper-to-mid-back (thoracic) disks are rarely involved. The spinal vertebrae are separated by disks filled with a soft, gelatinous substance. These disks cushion the spinal column and space between your vertebrae.

Lower back or neck pain can widely vary. It may feel like a mild tingle, dull pain, or a burning or pulsating sensation. In some scenarios, the pain is severe enough that you are unable to move or get out of your seat. You may also have numbness. Although, most of the pain occurs on one side of the body and when it happens, it happens slowly. It could get worse while standing or sitting, mainly at night time, awhile sneezing, coughing, or laughing and expanding muscular contractions, when bending backwards or walking just over a few yards, especially if the pain is caused by “Spinal Stenosis”.
