DISCUS HERNIA

The spine helps us to stand upright, to walk. What happens when the spine will let up. Between the vertebrae of the spine  there is flexible discoid bodies. After the age of thirty the elasticity of the disc reduces and in some people they squirt. After  the squirt the  disk is distorted and pushes the blood vessels and nerves that exit the spinal cord.  In 90% the  disc herniation occurs in the lumbar spine. Risk factors are the age, incorrect position of the spine, lifting heavy objects.
