Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top The bones of the spinal column, or vertebrae, run down the back connecting the skull to the pelvis. These bones protect nerves as they exit the brain and travel down the back and then to the entire body. The spinal column is divided into several segments the cervical spine (the neck), the thoracic spine (the part of the back behind the chest), the lumbar spine (lower back), and sacral spine (the part connected to the pelvis that does not move).

Although they do not actually "slip," a disk may split or rupture. This can cause the disk to fail, allowing the gel to escape into the surrounding tissue. The leaking jellylike substance can place pressure on the spinal cord or on a single nerve fiber and cause pain either around the damaged disk or anywhere along the area controlled by that nerve. This condition is also known as a herniated, ruptured, prolapsed, or, more commonly, slipped disk. The most frequently affected area is the low back, but any disk can rupture, including those in the neck.

Most herniation takes place in the lumbar area of the spine, and it is one of the most common causes of lower back pain. The mainstay of treatment for herniated disks is an initial period of rest with pain and anti-inflammatory medications followed by physical therapy. If pain and symptoms persist, surgery to remove the herniated portion of the intervertebral disk is recommended.

Urological Conditions Slipped Disk From Our Sponsors WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW A slipped diskalso known as a herniated or prolapsed diskoccurs when the ligaments that support and surround the flat, platelike cushions between the vertebrae in the spine begin to weaken. A back strain may cause one of these ligaments to break, allowing the disk material to squeeze out from between the vertebra and press on nearby nerves. Slipped disks become increasingly common with age. Causes The ligaments may give way under the stress of regular lifting, or tear open during a sudden injury. The odds of this happening increase when you are overweight. Signs/Symptoms A slipped disk in the lower back can put pressure on the sciatic (sigh-AT-ik) nerve, causing sciaticasharp, shooting pain from the buttock down the back of the leg to the foot. You may notice weakness, numbness, or loss of muscle strength in the affected leg. If a disk slips in the neck, the pain will get worse when you move your neck. It may also extend across the shoulder or down one arm. Your arm may feel weak or numb, or may lose muscle strength.

Mac users: please note that our site is optimized for the Safari browser General Health Disk is slipped, bulging, and herniated... Help! Originally Published: March 29, 2002 Dear Alice, What is the difference between a slipped disk, a bulge in a lumbar disk, and a herniated disk? I am (for the past two months) experiencing severe back pain which radiated down my left leg. My MRI results came back and the nurse from the office said I had "disk disease" and "degeneration" as well as a "slipped disk." The doctor called me later and told me I have a "bulge" and an "arthritic" spine condition. I am trying to understand what the various terms mean (slipped vs. bulge vs. herniated). Could you tell me what the distinctions are? Dear Reader, Let's start at the top, or rather the back. Your spine is a column of thirty-three small bones called vertebrae. These bones create a protective tunnel for your spinal cord, a bundle of nerves that relay messages between the brain and the body. In between each vertebra is a small piece of disk-shaped cartilage. These "disks" act as a cushion and prevent the vertebrae from grinding against each other when you "do the Twist" or anything else that involves moving your back. Degenerative disk disease is a form of arthritis. This statement might be controversial, according to some. There's degenerative disk disease and degenerative osteoarthritis, but they're not necessarily considered the same. Other forms of arthritis also affect the spine, such as osteoarthritis of the spine, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis.
