A herniated disc happens when the inner disc material, called the nucleus, seeps through the tough outer wall of the disc. It becomes symptomatic when it comes into contact with surrounding nerves causing pain and other herniated disc symptoms to be felt locally and along the nerves path.
In a healthy disc you can notice that the outer wall is thick and tough. As disc degeneration starts to set in, this wall will start to thin and dry out allowing for the possibility of cracks or tears. Once a tear or a crack occurs the disc can herniate as the inner materials come through and places pressure on surrounding structures.
