The outer layer is a connective tissue keeping the spinal bones in proximity to each other and also holds the jelly inside.  The inner jelly acts like a shock absorber to reduce impact between the spinal bones.  A disc herniation (extrusion or protrusion) occurs when the outer layer becomes damaged or worn and the pressure from the inner jelly pushes out to cause a bulge on the side of the disc....

....This is when the majority of people begin to feel the symptoms related to the bulge.  Low back pain, sciatica or radiating pain into the leg, numbness or tingling in the arms or legs and muscle weakness are some examples of these symptoms. 

Spinal Decompression Therapy is available to help retract herniated discs without drugs or invasive surgery.  Qualifying patients can be returned to active and busy lifestyles within a few short weeks.
