San Diego Herniated Disc Attorney
Fighting for the injured in San Diego since 1979
The human spine is a complex and intricate web of bone, muscle, nerve tissue, and fluid that is responsible for the protection of the spinal cord, structural support of the organs and limbs, and overall physical mobility. The bones that make up the spine are known as vertebrae, and each vertebrae is separated by a spinal disc. The spinal disc serves as a ligament to hold vertebrae together and to cushion and hydrate the vertebrae. If an accident leads to a herniated disc, your life may be forever changed. In this instance, you should meet with experienced San Diego Herniated Disc Attorney Gary Sernaker today to learn your legal rights.
A Trusted San Diego Herniated Disc Attorney
A herniation is when a bodily structure protrudes through an internal rupture in smooth muscle tissue. When a spinal disc becomes herniated, its soft internal center begins to push through a crack or tear in the disc’s outer exterior. This protrusion so close to the spine can cause severe pain, weakness, and even numbness to various parts of the body. Because of the spine’s intricate design, a herniated disc can cause numbness to the furthest reaching extremities of the body.
While symptoms of a herniated disc will include pain that seems to travel from the back to the extremities, weakness and even numbness, it is common for people with herniated discs to report having no symptoms at all. Common causes of disc herniation include natural aging, improper lifting, and sharp, sudden impact to the spine, like from a fall or car accident.
