Herniated discs can irritate nearby nerves and result in constant pain, numbness, or weakness in the limbs. Treatment often includes medication, physical therapy, and or surgery.
The type of treatment people receive for herniated discs varies widely. Those who suffer from this condition often begin treatment with cortisone injections or physical therapy but may have to resort to major back surgery that can require days of hospitalization.
In addition to the significant costs associated with ongoing medical care, those suffering from herniated discs due to a collision can also experience financial hardship due to lost wages.
