WHAT IS A Herniated Disc?

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.

Signs of a Herniated Disc

Herniated discs can affect different areas of the body depending on their location. Common symptoms include:

  • Localized back or neck pain
  • Radiating pain down the arm or leg
  • Tingling or numbness in the extremities
  • Muscle weakness or difficulty lifting objects
  • Pain that worsens with sitting, coughing, or sneezing
  • Loss of coordination or balance in severe cases

What is the Best Surgery for a Herniated Disc?

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.
