 '''Disc herniation''' is a medical condition that occurs when the inner core of a disc in the spine leaks out through the disc's outer layer. This can cause pain and other symptoms, depending on the location of the herniation and the type of tissue that becomes involved.
 == Causes ==
 Disc herniation is often the result of a gradual, aging-related wear and tear called [[disc degeneration]]. As you age, your spinal discs lose some of their water content, which makes them less flexible and more prone to tearing or rupturing with even a minor strain or twist. Most people can't pinpoint the exact cause of their herniated disc.
 == Symptoms ==
 Symptoms of a herniated disc can vary greatly depending on the location of the herniation and your own response to pain. If the herniated disc is not pressing on a nerve, you may experience a low backache or no pain at all. If it is pressing on a nerve, you may have pain, numbness or weakness in the area of the body to which the nerve travels.
 == Diagnosis ==
 [[Diagnosis]] of disc herniation is typically made through a physical examination and imaging tests. During the physical exam, your doctor will check your back for tenderness and may ask you to lie flat and move your legs in certain ways to determine the cause of your pain.
 == Treatment ==
 Treatment for disc herniation depends on the severity of your symptoms. For many people, symptoms improve over time with conservative treatment, such as medication and physical therapy. Surgery may be recommended if conservative treatments fail or if you have severe pain, weakness or numbness that makes it difficult to perform basic activities.
