Herniated (slipped) disc is a disorder that affects the vertebrae. These discs that are affected ae responsible for absorbing shocks incurred due to daily activities such as walking and lifting. The slipped disc can therefore affect any part of the spine all the way from the back to the neck. When this occurs, there results in extra pressure on the nerves and muscles around the slippage.
Symptoms of the disorder include pain and numbness on one side of the body, arms and legs with certain movements becoming hard to execute. There is also pain when walking and weaknesses in muscles that cannot be explained. In addition, there are burning sensations in the areas affected. When conducting activities such as standing and sitting, the pain worsens.
