A herniated or “slipped” disc occurs when the spongy layer of cartilage that acts as a shock absorber between the bones of the spine is displaced. A herniated disc is one of the most common causes of back and neck pain.
Specialists at NYU Langone’s Spine Center and our Endoscope Spine Surgery Program can diagnose a herniated disc and recommend a treatment plan that’s tailored to your symptoms and designed to relieve pain and restore function. Your providers may include experts in orthopedics, neurology, neurosurgery, and rehabilitation.
Our doctors understand that persistent discomfort can significantly affect your quality of life, and work with you to help you return to your daily routine as quickly as possible. Many people find that physical therapy and medication relieve symptoms of a herniated disc. NYU Langone experts partner with you to explore these and other nonsurgical treatments before considering surgery. Surgical approaches may include minimally invasive endoscopic options.
