Neurosurgery
Disc herniation treatment
Treatment for a spinal disc that has bulged or ruptured, potentially pressing on nearby nerves.
Common symptoms
- Back pain radiating down a leg (sciatica) or arm
- Numbness or tingling
- Weakness in the affected limb
What it involves
Most cases improve with physiotherapy, medication and time; surgery is reserved for cases with significant or worsening nerve involvement.
What to expect
The majority of disc herniations improve without surgery within weeks to a few months.
