Herniated Disc & Pinched Nerve
A herniated disc or pinched nerve can be painful and worrying, yet many people improve with guided movement, education and hands on care.
Understanding the concern
About Herniated Disc & Pinched Nerve concerns
Discs sit between the bones of the spine. When a disc bulges or herniates, or nearby tissues narrow the space around a nerve, it can cause pain in the neck or back along with symptoms that travel into an arm or leg.
Imaging findings do not always match how much discomfort someone feels, and many disc related symptoms improve over time. Care focuses on settling symptoms, keeping you moving within comfortable limits and building strength as things calm down.
Common experiences
- Neck pain spreading into the shoulder blade or arm
- Low back pain spreading into the buttock or leg
- Tingling or numbness in the hand, arm, leg or foot
- Pain that changes with sitting, bending or certain positions
