Herniated Disc Injury

Far too often insurance companies try to cut corners leaving you without the best possible care, lack of coverage, and medical bills piling up.

A herniated disc injury typically results from trauma and is caused when a tear in an intervertebral disc permits the inner portion to bulge out. The jelly-like inner substance can then move into the spinal canal and press against nerves, causing intense and disabling pain. The condition is also referred to as a slipped or ruptured disc. Other similar medical issues include disc protrusion, pinched nerves and disc degeneration.

• Cervical: Herniated discs in this area occur in the neck. Such injuries impact the back of the head, the neck and the shoulders, hands and arms.
• Lumbar: Lower back injuries typically affect the butt, thigh and genital region. May radiate through the legs to the feet or affect the femoral nerve.
• Thoracic: Herniation of a disc in the middle back is rare as this region is typically the most stable. Such injuries can mimic upper or lower back injuries.
