Understanding Thoracic disc herniation

Thoracic disc herniation occurs when protective material inside a spinal disc shifts out of place. For many people, a herniated disc is discovered during MRI testing for a different problem as few people experience symptoms due to this issue.

If thoracic disc herniation is discovered, assessing potential effects on the spinal cord is vital.
