This condition goes by many names \u2014 disc herniation, bulging disc, slipped disc, collapsed disc. Each term refers to intervertebral discs that have become weakened and are pressing on the spinal cord.<\/p>\n<p>A herniated disc can be a painful, even debilitating injury. It can impact your daily routine and lead to poor quality of life. At Desert Institute for Spine Care, we are a team of expert doctors who can treat your herniated disc.

discs are the most common diagnosis among spine-related abnormalities. Bulging discs can impact both the lumbar region in the lower back or the neck\u2019s cervical spine. The soft, rubbery cushion between your vertebrae is called an intervertebral disc.<\/p>\n<p>Wear and tear, injury or poor posture can weaken a disc\u2019s integrity. As it loses its shape, it can bulge and put pressure on the nerves in the spinal canal. The soft inner gel within can also leak into the spinal canal. These injuries can lead to a variety of painful symptoms in the back, legs, neck or arms, depending on whether the herniation is in the lumbar or cervical spine.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/contact\/\">Schedule an Appointment<\/a><\/p>\n\n                                                        \n        \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n        \t\t\t<\/div>\n        \t\t<\/div>\n        \t<\/div>\n\n                            <\/div>\n               \n        \t\n        <\/section>\n\n\n\n\n    <section id=\"image-text-block_10c1ce178f7bfd3673a01f1a74347067\" class=\"image-text image-text--right   bg-light-grey  image-text--inner   image-text--padding js-animated-text-container \">\n        <div class=\"container\">\n            <div class=\"row flex-row flex-center \">\n                <div class=\"col-lg-6 col-xxs-12 image-text__half image-text__text\">\n                    <div class=\"image-text__text-wrap\">\n                        <h5>Patient Education Video<\/h5>\n<h2>The Three Most Common Types of Disc Herniations Are:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Protruding herniated discs: <\/strong>When the disc\u2019s gel-like interior bulges outward but has not pushed through the disc\u2019s exterior.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Extruded herniated disc:<\/strong> A disc that has ruptured through the disc wall and entered the spinal canal.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sequestered herniation:<\/strong> A ruptured disc that has broken away from the spinal disc and migrated into the spinal canal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"VideoObject\",\n  \"name\": \"Herniated Disc\",\n  \"description\": \"Between the vertebrae of your spine are soft discs.

Discs?<\/h2>\n<p>Herniated and bulging disc symptoms vary based on the location of the herniation. If you have a cervical herniated disc, you may feel an array of symptoms in your neck, shoulders, arms or even your hands and fingers. Herniated or bulging discs in the lower back will cause symptoms in your buttocks, thigh, calves, feet or toes, depending on the level of the bulging disc. Lumbar herniations can also affect the sciatic nerve, which runs from your hip down both sides of your legs.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the symptoms of a herniated or bulging disc include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sharp or dull pain, which gets worse when moving<\/li>\n<li>Numbness or tingling in your extremities<\/li>\n<li>Weakness in legs or hands<\/li>\n<li>Shooting pain, a tingling sensation or burning<\/li>\n<li>Difficulty with coordination or balance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/contact\/\">Schedule an Appointment<\/a><\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                <div class=\"col-lg-6 col-md-7 col-sm-9 col-xxs-12 image-text__half image-text__img\">\n                    <div class=\"animated-image js-animated-image\">\n                        \n                            <div class=\"image-text__img-video-full\">\n                                <span class=\"js-animated-image-overlay animated-image-overlay\"><\/span>\n                                                                    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/ondemand.viewmedica.com\/1782\/open\/A_de8a16c7\" style=\"width:720px; max-width:100%; aspect-ratio:16\/9; \" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; fullscreen; clipboard-write;\" allowfullscreen frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n                                                            <\/div>\n                                            <\/div> <!-- image animation wrapper -->\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n    <section id=\"full-width-img-block_d4991b2def05ebeb83ff6de1ddc74d67\" class=\"full-width-image-text  full-width-image-text--box-overlay  js-animated-text-container js-scale-down-wrapper\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/photo-1539815208687-a0f05e15d601-2000w.jpg\" class=\"full-width-image-text__img js-scale-down-item \" alt=\"Detailed drawings of the spine and other bone areas of the human body.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/photo-1539815208687-a0f05e15d601-2000w.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/photo-1539815208687-a0f05e15d601-2000w-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/photo-1539815208687-a0f05e15d601-2000w-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/photo-1539815208687-a0f05e15d601-2000w-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/photo-1539815208687-a0f05e15d601-2000w-420x315.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/photo-1539815208687-a0f05e15d601-2000w-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/photo-1539815208687-a0f05e15d601-2000w-800x600.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/>    \n        <div class=\"container\">\n                            <div class=\"full-width-image-text__left\">\n            \n                <div class=\"full-width-image-text__content  full-width-image-text__content--half   full-width-image-text__content--red \">\n                                            <h2 class=\"full-width-image-text__headline\">Bulging Disc Diagnosis<\/h2>\n                                                            <div class=\"full-width-image-text__description\">\n                    <p>Following an accurate diagnosis, the herniated disc doctors at DISC in Arizona can provide you with a personalized treatment plan that meets your exact needs.

Our centers in the Phoenix, AZ area offer a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/spine-treatments\/\">wide array of treatment options<\/a> for bulging and herniated discs.<\/p>\n<p>We generally begin with conservative care, such as pain medications, heat and cold therapy or therapeutic injections. However, if there is evidence of nerve damage, some type of surgical treatment may be needed for the pain before the herniated disc causes permanent nerve damage. The surgeons at DISC are experts in minimally invasive laser spine treatment for herniated lumbar and cervical discs.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-secondary\"
