Understanding Slipped Disc and Its Treatment
A slipped disc occurs when the soft inner core of a spinal disc pushes through its outer layer, creating a fragment that presses on the spinal nerves. This pressure often results in leg pain, but it is not a sign of spinal instability. The primary solution is to remove the fragment, which alleviates the pressure without the need for spinal fusion, maintaining the spine’s mobility.
