Complaints of slipped disc depend upon extend of pinched nerve, whether it is in cervical disc herniation or lumbar disc herniation. Common form of radiculopathy includes pain that runs with path of the affected nerve. If you have complaints of pain in neck or lumbar region, feeling of tingling and numbness in the fingertips or toes, sensation of small sharp piercing pain or development of muscle weakness or loss of reflexes; you may be suffering from spinal disc herniation.
With aging, spinal anatomy deteriorates, bone density becomes rare, vertebral body and joints and cushion become week. This results into loss of flexibility and mobility. With this cushioning, inter-vertebral body becomes week to point where its structural mass gives way. Prolapsed disc or disc herniation or bulging of disc or slipped disc is degenerative disc disease where soft gelatinous material pushes through fibrous shell of disc into spinal column causing inter-vertebral disc prolapsed. Herniated disc can bulge in neck or bulge in back and causes pain due to pressure or chemical irritation. Though symptoms of lumbar herniated disc or cervical herniated disc show suddenly, the process is slow and insidious. It can also be due to trauma. Genetic predisposition, lack of exercises, obesity, malnutrition and smoking also play part in the process.
