A Herniated Disc or slipped disk pain occurs when one of spinal discs located between spine vertebrae, who act as a cushion to avoid friction between bones, is torn and the internal liquid lubricant leaks to the outside. This damaged disc squeezes the nerve to the backbone and causes a swelling and pain. Herniated disc is a very common back pain among men and women. Big number of herniated discs cases are located in the low back or lumbar spine, more specifically between L4 and L5 vertebrae.
