If you ever have been bent over and couldn’t straighten up, you may have felt like you slipped a disc.The discs are the shock absorbing pads in between the vertebra of your spine. Your symptoms could also include pain into your hip or down your leg or arm.

I have seen hundreds of patients with this condition in our Hanover Chiropractic and Massage Therapy office. The vast majority of our patients, upwards of 90% fully recover from disc pain with proper treatment, without the need for surgery.

Herniated Disc Types

Disc injuries have several different names based around the severity the condition. These are the common types:

A Herniated Disc can Pinch Nerves

• Bulging Disc: A disc swells outward in between your vertebra
• Herniated Disc: A severe bulge beyond the outer ring of your disc
• Ruptured Disc: Inner herniated disc material oozes out and compresses your nerves
• Fragmented Disc: A portion of your ruptured disc tears off into your spinal canal causing pain
• Degenerative Disc: A arthritic condition that occurs in your back
