Disc Injury
Disc injuries tend to result in considerable back pain, numbness, and limitation in range of motion due to the irritation of the nerve roots at the point where the injury occurs and the impact this has on the surrounding tissues. A number of distressing symptoms can arise from this nerve irritation and damage, including but not limited to:
-
Back pain
-
Neck pain
-
Weak legs or feet
-
Leg and foot pain, numbness and tingling (also known as sciatica)
-
Loss of bladder or bowel control
