Herniated discs can cause spinal nerve inflammation and swelling which is one of the leading causes of herniated discs pain.

Applying ice can help you reduce inflammation and control the pain. This is because cold temperatures constrict the veins and arteries in that area. 

One of the most common mistakes that people do is applying heat to herniated discs because this will increase inflammation and might cause things to worsen.

It is important to be aware that tensed muscles or muscle spasms can cause also similar pain to herniated discs. However, it should not be confused with herniated discs pain because treatment is completely different.

If you have a tensed muscles pain you will need to apply heat to relax the muscles. Applying ice for tensed muscles will make your situation get worst as it will contract them more.
