A slipped disc, also known as a herniated or prolapsed disc, is a common spinal condition that can cause significant pain and discomfort, affecting mobility and overall quality of life. If you are experiencing persistent back or neck pain, tingling sensations, or weakness in your limbs, a herniated disc could be the underlying cause.

The symptoms of a herniated disc depend on its location within the spine and the extent of nerve involvement. The most common areas affected are the lower back (lumbar spine) and the neck (cervical spine).
