A herniated disc, sometimes called a slipped or ruptured disc, occurs when the soft inner gel of a spinal disc pushes through a tear in the outer layer. This displaced material can press against nearby spinal nerves, causing pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the back, neck, arms, or legs. Herniated discs are most common in the cervical (neck) and lumbar (lower back) spine and may result from injury, overuse, or natural wear and tear.

When nonsurgical treatments like physical therapy, medication, or injections fail to provide relief, surgery may be the best option. As the best herniated disc surgeon in Los Angeles, Dr. Yashar often performs minimally invasive microdiscectomy, which removes only the portion of the disc compressing the nerve, preserving healthy tissue and spinal stability.
For select cases, particularly involving multiple levels of disc degeneration, motion-preserving options such as artificial disc replacement may be considered. Dr. Yashar also utilizes robotic spine surgery when appropriate to enhance precision and reduce recovery time. Every surgical plan is tailored to your unique condition and goals.
