A disc is a soft material that acts as a cushion between the 26 vertebrae that make up the spine.

A herniated disc can occur in any part of the spine and can be the result of an acute injury or aging. Symptoms of a herniated disc include sharp pain that radiates to the limbs, numbness, tingling sensation and muscle spasms.
