	Herniated Disk Symptoms Herniated disks are a relatively common problem most often caused by the gradual process of aging. The vertebrae of your spine are protected from one another by spongy spacers called disks, each of which consists of a fibrous material wrapped around a gel-like center. By the time we reach 30, these disks--which are 80 percent water--have already begun to dry out. Click Here for Herniated Disk Symptoms! By our 50s, these spinal disks are significantly more rigid and dry and provide less cushioning. The fibrous exterior (annulus fibrosis) may begin to weaken and tear. A herniated disk occurs when the inner substance (the nucleus pulposus) leaks out from the outer layer, causing a protrusion. When this material pokes far enough into the spinal canal to touch a nerve, you will feel symptoms of pain and numbness. Treating Herniated Disk Symptoms The symptoms of a herniated disk can sometimes be treated by nonsurgical means. These include physical therapy, medication, heat therapy and other treatments. A herniated disk may also shrink away from the spinal cord on its own, putting an end to symptoms. However, certain types of herniated disks and serious cases that involve the compression of many nerve roots typically require surgery. The Bonati Institute for Advanced Arthroscopic Surgery has been a leader in the field of minimally invasive spinal surgery since 1981.
