If treated correctly, a herniated disc will usually heal without surgery in about six weeks. This disorder typically occurs in the late teen years and impacts all or most of the lower spine, unlike adult disk degeneration which only impacts one or two disks. A herniated disc is due to a disc being pulled out of place. Juvenile disk disorder – occurs when the vertebral endplates (top and bottom of the vertebrae) can’t withstand the pressures inside the disk spaces.This includes scoliosis (curved spine) and transitional vertebrae (spinal bones don’t form correctly). If the herniation occurs in the neck, for example, it can cause pain that radiates into the shoulder and arm if it occurs in the lower back, the pain produced can radiate down into the hip and leg.

The location of the pain depends on the location of the herniated disc. In this article, our experts in spine pathologies at Instituto Clavel explain the causes, symptoms and treatments of this pathology.
