Disk herniation, also known as a herniated disk, slipped disk, or ruptured disk, occurs when the inner gel-like core (nucleus pulposus) of an intervertebral disk pushes through a tear in the outer layer (annulus fibrosus). This can put pressure on nearby nerves, causing pain and other symptoms. Jose Valerio offers many innovative treatment options that provide positive outcomes.
