WHAT IS A HERNIA IN Geldermalsen?

The spine consists of vertebrae and intervertebral discs. These are held together by ligaments, muscles and tendons. Due to unknown cause, a protrusion of an intervertebral disc can occur. We call this a hernia. Usually, a hernia is in the lower back. The hernia can press on a nerve path and irritate or irritate it.

A hernia can cause pain in one leg that extends to the lower leg, sometimes to the foot. The leg pain is sharp. Certain postures or movements, as well as coughing, sneezing or straining, can evoke or intensify the radiating pain. Most people with a hernia also have lower back pain. Sometimes there is a loss of strength in the leg or a feeling as if the leg is asleep.
