At The Spine Care Center in Manassas, we have worked to diagnose and treat a variety of spine conditions that cause pain and can inhibit daily activities. One common condition our spine specialists deal with is disc extrusion.
What Is Disc Extrusion?
A disc extrusion occurs when the jelly-like cushioning between spinal discs ruptures. Also known as a herniated or ruptured disc, a disc extrusion occurs when the cushioning is thin and becomes weak. As we get older, this thinning can accelerate and cause more severe symptoms.
Causes and Symptoms of Disc Extrusions
The discs in our spine deal with constant motion and pressure from our bodies. As we age, this motion can be damaging and result in our discs becoming extruded. The most common symptom of an extruded disc is pain around the site that begins to travel throughout nearby extremities. Stiffness, soreness, muscle weakness, tingling, and numbness are also symptoms associated with disc extrusions.
