Introduction. A slipped disc â known as a prolapsed or herniated disc â occurs when one of the discs that sit between the bones of the spine (the vertebrae) is damaged and presses on the nerves.This can cause back pain and neck pain, as well as symptoms such as numbness, a tingling sensation, or weakness in other areas of the body.he damaged disc can put pressure on the whole spinal cord or on a single nerve root (where a nerve leaves the spinal cord). This means a slipped disc can cause pain both in the area of the protruding disc and in the area of the body controlled by the nerve that the disc is pressing on.
A prolapsed disc, which may also be called a herniated, slipped, or ruptured disc, occurs when the nucleus pulposus herniates through the outer layer of the disc. The prolapsed disc then puts pressure on other structures in the spinal column, most notably, the spinal nerves.The pain that occurs with prolapsed discs is believed to be the result of nerve compression by the bulging disc. Inflammation around the affected nerve may also contribute to a patientsâ pain.ypically, the pain associated with a prolapsed disc will have a sudden onset of severe pain. Occasionally, the pain will be reduced when the patient lies down. Other symptoms of a prolapsed disc include numbness and tingling.
