- What It Is
What Is a Herniated Disc?
A herniated disc occurs when the soft inner layer of a spinal disc pushes through the tough outer layer, sometimes pressing on nearby nerves. This can cause pain, numbness, or weakness, and may worsen over time if untreated.
Herniated discs can affect the cervical (neck), thoracic (mid-back), or lumbar (lower back) regions. Common symptoms include:
General back pain
Pain worsened by bending, lifting, or sitting
Pain from coughing, sneezing, or straining
Numbness or tingling in arms or legs
Rarely, loss of bladder or bowel control
Early evaluation with Dr. Albert P. Wong ensures accurate diagnosis and effective treatment options.

Herniated Disc Surgery
Find answers to common questions about herniated disc surgery with Dr. Albert P. Wong.
Patients with herniated discs who experience persistent pain, numbness, or weakness despite conservative treatments such as physical therapy, medications, or injections may be candidates for surgery.
Dr. Wong performs minimally invasive discectomy, endoscopic discectomy, microdiscectomy, and in selected cases, spinal fusion or artificial disc replacement to treat herniated discs.
Surgery involves removing the portion of the disc that is pressing on nerves or the spinal cord. Minimally invasive techniques use small incisions and specialized instruments for faster recovery and less tissue disruption.
Recovery varies by procedure and patient health, but most patients return to light activities within a few days and resume normal activities over several weeks, with full recovery typically in 6–12 weeks.
Discomfort is usually minimal due to minimally invasive techniques. Pain is managed with medication, and most patients experience significant relief from the symptoms caused by the herniated disc.
A consultation with Dr. Wong, including imaging and a detailed evaluation of your symptoms, will determine if surgery is the best option for your condition.
