Herniated Disc Disease The disc’s nucleus serves as the main shock absorber for the adjacent vertebrae. When a tear occurs in the outer (annular) ring of the disc, the soft nucleus pulposus can protrude into the spinal canal. This common and painful disorder is called a herniated disc (also known as a ruptured disc or a prolapsed disc). The protrusion of the nucleus pulposus can press on a nerve root or the spinal cord. The damaged disc can also leak fluid, which may inflame nerve roots. For this reason, herniated discs can become extremely painful. When a herniated disc occurs in the mid back it can be extremely serious.
