A herniated disc, also known as a “slipped disc” or “ruptured disc,” is a common spinal condition that can cause pain, numbness, and discomfort. This condition occurs when the soft, gel-like center of a spinal disc pushes through a crack in the outer layer, causing irritation to the adjacent nerves. Premier Orthopaedic Associates specializes in providing expert care and advanced treatments for herniated discs, helping our patients to achieve relief and live pain-free lives, doing what they love.
An accurate diagnosis of a herniated disc is crucial for effective treatment. Our experienced orthopedic specialists employ a comprehensive evaluation process, which includes a review of your medical history, a physical examination, and diagnostic imaging such as MRI or CT scans to visualize the affected area and assess the extent of the herniation.
