About Lumbar Disc Prolapse in Hyderabad
Lumbar disc prolapse, commonly known as a slipped or herniated disc, occurs when the soft, gel-like center of an intervertebral disc in the lower back pushes through a tear in its tougher outer layer, often pressing on nearby spinal nerves. This can cause localized back pain as well as radiating pain, numbness, or weakness along the path of the affected nerve, most classically down the leg in a pattern known as sciatica. It commonly results from age-related disc degeneration combined with mechanical stress such as heavy lifting or twisting. Most cases improve with conservative management, though severe or persistent cases may require surgical intervention.
