Spinal disc located between the vertebrae helps the body in performing various functions, mainly, movement in all directions. In many cases due, to increasing age or if the person lifts weight causing sudden pressure on the disc, the latter get herniated. It is a condition in which fluid ooze out from spine disc out due to wear and tear, age, injury making the spine disc hard and causing a bulge, crack, or a tear that causes pressure on the nerves and leads to pain. Microdiscectomy finds its way in alleviating the pain that arises due to lumbar herniated disc.
