Pin it! What is a slipped disc?
The shock-absorbing discs in the spine are made up of a strong outer fibrous coat that contains soft gel-like material. A prolapsed disc occurs when the gel-like material pushes out from between the bones of the spine (vertebrae). A herniated disc occurs when the outer coat ruptures.
Pain is caused when the disc puts pressure on the surrounding nerves or spinal cord.
