Lumbar Herniated Disc – Topic Overview

The bones that form the spine in your back are cushioned by small, spongy discs. When these discs are healthy, they act as shock absorbers for the spine and keep the spine flexible. But when a disc is damaged, it may bulge or break open. This is called a herniated disc. It may also be called a slipped or ruptured disc. Your chiropractor or physician can tell you more about this condition and your treatment options.
