Please see the index below for a list of all our articles on Herniated Discs.

If you are new to the subject, we recommend starting with: What's a Herniated Disc, Pinched Nerve, Bulging Disc...?

A lumbar herniated disc can cause moderate pain in the lower back and buttock, with pain, numbness, and/or weakness in the leg and foot.

Thoracic herniated discs may be caused by age-related wear and tear and spinal injuries, leading to the disc's displacement in the mid-back region.

Diagnosis of a thoracic herniated disc involves a physical exam, imaging tests (MRI, CT), and neurological assessments to evaluate the symptoms.
