Spinal disc herniation, or "slipped disc" in layman’s terms, is a medical condition where the central portion of an intervertebral disc bulges out. This is exacerbated by tears in the outer ring of the vertebra and often results in severe pain. Slipped discs are commonly caused by trauma, strenuous lifting, or idiopathic causes, but its symptoms can be managed through analgesics and therapeutic treatments. Although minor herniations can heal within weeks, severe herniations may not heal on their own and may even require surgery.

Spinal disc herniation is often dismissed as back muscle ache, but immediate diagnosis is imperative to speedy recovery. To detect the symptoms of slipped disc, people suffering from extreme or chronic back pain should look out for the following symptoms:

• Persisting pains in the thighs, knees, or feet for which there seems to be no cause
• Chronic neck or low back pain that seems to radiate outward
• Inexplicable loss of bladder or bowel control
• Sudden decrease in sexual performance or erectile dysfunction

It should be noted that it is unlikely a person is suffering from slipped disc if their back pain manifests in spasms. Herniated discs usually cause continuous pain in specific parts of the body and usually only occur in one half of the body. It should also be noted that it is possible for slipped discs to occur without causing any pain at all.
