Herniated discs can cause significant discomfort and impact daily life. Understanding the causes, symptoms, and risk factors associated with this condition is essential for effective management. A herniated disc occurs when the gel-like center of a spinal disc protrudes through a tear in the outer layer, pressing on nearby nerves.
Common causes include age-related degeneration, improper lifting, repetitive movements, and trauma. The symptoms of a herniated disc can vary depending on the location and severity but often include localized pain, radiating pain, numbness, and weakness. Risk factors include age, occupation, genetics, and lifestyle choices such as smoking and obesity. Proper diagnosis and timely herniated disc treatment in Plantation can help alleviate symptoms and prevent further complications.
