Understanding Disc Herniation
A herniated disc occurs when the tough outer layer, known as the annulus fibrosis, develops small cracks. These cracks allow the soft inner gel, the nucleus pulposus, to escape into the spinal canal. This can compress nearby nerves, causing significant pain and discomfort.
