Herniated discs occur most commonly in the lumbar spine (lower back) and are a common cause of back pain. Repeated overuse during bending, lifting, and sporting activities can lead to degeneration of the outer layer of the disc, which allows the gel-like centre of the disc to prolapse out. This presses against structures in the back that can cause back pain and even Sciatica (pain down back of the legs).
The onset of back pain is sudden and severe. The back pain from a Herniated disc may be relieved by changing position but it can be made worse by bending and prolonged sitting. Coughing and sneezing increase the pressure within the disc and can exacerbate the pain.
Physiotherapy treatment is effective for the treatment of a Herniated disc, although pain relieving medication is also usually necessary. The acute back pain normally lasts for a few days after which normal activities should be encouraged as much as possible, and a supervised rehabilitation programme normally allows a return to sport after 6 to 12 months.
