Is it possible to develop a hernia in your back?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
If you are: Talking about a herniated disc, yes, very common in low back. Hernia just means something sticking through an opening, so i would need more specifics to answer your question more intelligently.

Yes: In your spine, you can develop a herniated disc. Its also possible to develop something called a lumbar hernia - similar to an abdominal wall hernia, but through the back muscles. Hope this helps!
