Herniated disc is an anomaly of the intervertebral
discs also known as a ruptured, slipped or torn disc. This happens when
the inner core (nucleus) bulges out through the outer layer of ligaments
that surround the disc. This tear causes pain in the back at the point
of herniation. The herniated disc is the cause of lower back pain, mid
back pain and even pain in the back of head. This deformation in spine
structure results in herniated disc. For more information on "herniated

of fixture is experienced, all over. The symptoms are lower back pain
and leg numbing.

pain, mid back pain and even pain in the back of head. Non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs are taken for relieving back pain. But if the
