Is Your Back Pain from a Herniated Disk?

Could your back pain be from a herniated disk? The soft disks between your vertebrae cushion and keep your vertebrae in place. But as you age, they can break down and lose their ability to cushion the spine and can cause pain, weakness or numbness. Learn from spine expert Dr. Eugene Koh what a herniated disk is, what causes them, how to prevent them and much more.
