What problems could a herniated disc cause?
The shock absorber discs between each vertebra are made up of a soft, gel-like nucleus and a hard outer casing. With injury or aging, the disc may tear open, allowing the nucleus to seep out. This nucleus puts pressure on the nearby nerves. This is referred to as a herniated disc. Our spinal cord protects the nerves that send messages to the brain. It is made up of a series of connected bones or vertebrae. These vertebrae are stacked on top of each other forming an ‘S’ shape with the curve being the most at the neck and in the lower back. Each vertebra has a disc between them which acts as a shock absorber. Unfortunately, though there are situations where the spine can be injured and needs surgery. Ranka Hospital, Pune provides treatment for a herniated disc.
