What does "No disc herniation" mean in a report or doctor's letter? In our medical dictionary, you will find a patient-friendly explanation of the meaning of this medical term.
"No disc herniation" refers to the absence of a specific condition in the spine. Normally, the spine has soft discs between the bones (vertebrae) that act as cushions. Sometimes, these discs can move out of place or break open, a condition known as disc herniation. So, when a report says "No disc herniation", it means that the discs in the spine are in their proper place and have not broken open.
