What is a herniated disc injury?

Back injuries pose great hazards for people of all ages. According to the Cleveland Clinic, a herniated disc is a very common cause of back and leg pain, is most often found in people aged 33 to 55, and occurs more often in men than in women. So, what exactly is a herniated disc injury?

A herniated disc, also known as a slipped or ruptured disc, occurs when a soft, jelly-like nucleus (known as nucleus pulposus) is pushed out of the bone putting pressure on the spinal nerve. This is what causes the pain. Herniated discs typically happen at the lower back but may also occur in the neck and upper back.

While herniated discs can arise from old age and general wear and tear, it can also result from sudden movements or trauma. The pain may radiate from the back and neck to the legs, knees, and buttocks and hips (sciatica). There are also medical conditions that may make a person susceptible to a herniated disc like spinal stenosis.

If your herniated disc is caused by a personal injury, we can help you ease the financial burden of treatment and recovery. Back injuries may greatly impair your quality of life and having the financial capacity to cover your medical expenses and even lost earnings may ease the burden of the injury.
