As the spinal disc becomes less elastic, it can rupture. When the disc ruptures, a portion of the spinal disc pushes outside its normal boundary--this is called a herniated disc.
What can happen if an intervertebral disk is hernieated?
As the spinal disc becomes less elastic, it can rupture. When the disc ruptures, a portion of the spinal disc pushes outside its normal boundary--this is called a herniated disc. When a herniated disc bulges out from between the vertebrae, the spinal nerves and spinal cord can become pinched. There is normally a little extra space around the spinal cord and spinal nerves, but if enough of the herniated disc is pushed out of place, then these structures may be compressed.
What is spinal disc hydration?
Drink water.
Moderate to severe degenerative loss of disc height at the lumbosacral junction with mild degenerative type posterior subluxation and associated broad-based annular disc bulge which is subligamentous?
Fairly rare MRI term associated with spondylolisthesis at the L5/S1 level... The disk is dragged forward by the spinal slippage and on MRI appears to be herniated (which it isn't)...

What is small central disc herniation indenting the ventral margin of the the the thecal sac?
A broad herniation means that at least 25% of the disc is affected. A central herniation means that the herniation is toward the spinal column. A broad central herniation of the disc with impingement on the thecal sac is a herniation in which a large portion of the disc is protruding toward the spinal column and is pressing against the membrane which surrounds the spinal cord.
Do you need surgery if you have a disc flattening your spinal cord?
