Learn what a slipped disc is, how it occurs, and how to manage it. Find out the common causes, symptoms, and treatments of this condition, as well as exercises to prevent and relieve pain. A slipped disc can cause symptoms such as pain down the back of the leg (sciatica), numbness, or weakness. Read about causes, diagnosis, and treatment (surgery, physical therapy, and medications). A slipped disc or disc prolapse causes sudden and severe lower back pain. The disc often presses on a nerve root which can cause pain and other symptoms like burning, tingling, numbness, paraesthesias in the leg and foot. In most cases, the symptoms ease off gradually over several weeks. Surgery is an option if the symptoms persist inspite of conservative treatment.
