The spinal column is comprised of 33 vertebrae that are separated by discs, which serve as shock absorbers. These discs are made up of a rubber-like outer band that protects the gel-like nucleus. Herniated Discs occur when part of the nucleus of a spinal disc pushes through a fissure in the exterior. This can cause referred pain, numbness, tingling, Sciatica and muscle weakness, among other symptoms. Moreover, these symptoms are not always immediate, which can make the condition difficult to self-diagnose.
