Herniated Disc Relief in Cool Springs, Franklin TN
A herniated disc occurs when the soft inner material of a spinal disc pushes through its tougher outer layer, often irritating nearby nerves. It can develop from a single awkward lift or from years of repetitive strain, and the resulting pain can range from a dull ache to sharp, radiating nerve pain.
