This problem is when the disk becomes weak or is exposed to stress and other factors that an opening or crack appears on the side of the disk. The jelly-like liquid within the herniated disk then leaks out of the disk and causes nerve irritation, leading to pain and numbness in the arms or legs depending on where the herniated disc occurred in the spine. Herniated disks usually occur during activities like weight training that put a lot of weight and pressure on the spine. Another common mechanism of how herniated disks occur is during a turning or pivotal movement. For some other athletes, herniated disks may occur due to the accumulation of many smaller injuries that eventually lead to this injury. Signs and symptoms of herniated discs vary depending on where on the spine the herniation occurred and how prone the athlete has become to the injury due to his or her history and past injuries that may have affected the vertebrae. Some athletes show no signs or symptoms of herniated disks if the disk was the only tissue that was damaged while others show signs of severe neck and lower back pain due to the fact that the surrounding nerves are being impinged by the jelly-like material that came out of the
