A Simple Guide To Herniated Disks (Infographic)

Herniated disks are the term for the medical condition where a spinal disk ruptures to reveal the nucleus sticking out. The fast lifestyle people have adapted today is a major reason why such cases are on the rise. Weight and posture are the two most important factors to consider. One might also be at an increased risk of herniated disks if they have a family history of the same or are a heavy smoker.

Usually, the condition doesn’t have any defining symptoms. If you feel your neck and back hurting for no apparent reason, we recommend you see your family physician. An MRI and X-ray will reveal the underlying cause and you can start treatment soon.
