Lower back disc
What is a herniated disc in the lower back?
A herniated disc in the lower back occurs when the cartilage between the lumbar vertebrae presses on a nerve, which can cause back pain or pain that radiates down the leg.
Many cases improve with appropriate physical therapy without the need for surgery, depending on the assessment of the condition and its severity.
