Spinal disc herniation is when the spinal disc slips and exerts pressure on the nearby nerves. Slipped disc can occur in anywhere of the spine, but it’s more common in the lower back.

And some people may be vulnerable to disc problem.
Like bone spurs, a spinal disc herniation is usually asymptomatic unless it interferes with the surrounding organs and leads to health complications.

The symptoms may be more severe When change your postures into walking, sitting or standing. And straightening the leg on the influenced side may aggravate that pain. [7]
