What is a lower back disc?
What is a lumbar disc herniation, and how does it occur?
A lumbar disc herniation occurs when the cartilage disc between the vertebrae in the lower back slips or ruptures. This can be caused by aging, prolonged sitting, heavy lifting, or sudden incorrect movements.
Problems caused by lumbar disc herniation
1. Sharp pain in the lower back area.
2. Muscle weakness and difficulty moving.
3. Numbness and tingling in the lower limbs.
4. Issues with balance and walking ability.
How does lumbar disc herniation affect the nerves?
When the disc herniates, it can compress spinal nerves, leading to pain radiating to the legs or feet, along with possible numbness or muscle weakness.
Is sciatica caused by lumbar disc herniation?
Yes, sciatica is a common symptom of lumbar disc herniation. It occurs when the herniated disc compresses the sciatic nerve, causing pain that radiates from the lower back to the leg.
What is chronic pain caused by lumbar disc herniation?
If untreated, acute pain from lumbar disc herniation can turn into chronic pain due to ongoing inflammation or nerve damage, affecting the patient’s daily life.
Other spinal problems caused by neglecting disc herniation
1. Spinal canal stenosis.
2. Abnormal spinal curvature.
3. Permanent nerve damage.
When does lumbar disc herniation require surgical intervention?
Surgery is needed if:
1. Symptoms do not respond to medication or physical therapy.
2. Pain or muscle weakness persists for an extended period.
3. Loss of bladder or bowel control occurs, indicating cauda equina syndrome.

Radiofrequency activates the nerve and does not cause any damage to it.
Non-surgical interventions are a definitive treatment for some cases and pain relievers for other cases, which is determined by the doctor through a medical examination.
If the herniated disc is fully treated, there is a possibility of it reoccurring in some cases, such as not following the doctor's prescribed instructions after the intervention, experiencing an accident, or making a sudden wrong movement like lifting heavy objects.
The entire disc is not removed due to the presence of several risks and it may exacerbate the condition. Only the protruding part that causes pain is removed.
This cannot be done with radiofrequency, but it is performed through other techniques that Dr. Koura conducts.
The success or failure of non-surgical interventions cannot be judged through radiographic imaging because these procedures involve making subtle changes to critical parts to address the issue. Consequently, they do not produce significant changes to avoid potential complications in the future or damage to the spine and joints, which is our primary goal.
Spinal stenosis does not typically cause sciatica. In most cases, disc herniation is what may lead to sciatica. This does not necessarily mean that a patient with sciatica will also have spinal stenosis.
Sciatica may return if the patient does not adhere to the medical instructions provided by the doctor or in the event of an unexpected accident.
