Abstract: Prolapsed Intervertebral Disc (PIVD) is a major cause of disability in developing countries. A herniated nucleus pulposus is most common in those aged below 40 years, whilst degeneration of discs tends to affect those aged over 40 years, with the prevalence increasing with advancing age. Initial management should include rest as indicated, physical therapy, and appropriate use of pain medication. In most instances, radicular symptoms will abate or resolve within six weeks.
