A slipped disk refers to a problem with one of the rubbery cushions (disks) between the individual bones (vertebrae) that stack up to make your spine.
A spinal disk could be a very little sort of a jelly sinker, with a softer center incased inside a tougher exterior.
Sometimes known as a slipped disk or a damaged disk, a herniated disk happens once a number of the softer "jelly" pushes out through a tear within the tougher exterior.
A slipped disk can irritate nearby nerves and result in pain, numbness or weakness in an arm or leg. On the other hand, many people experience no symptoms from a slipped disk.
