Disc Problems

What is a Disc?

Your spine is made up of interlocking stacks of bone called vertebrae. Between each pair of vertebrae is a disc which cushions the bones so they will not grind together.​Like any cushion, the disc has a soft interior and a firm covering. The soft interior is a jelly-like pad called the nucleus.

 

What Does a Disc Do?

Each disc absorbs shock as you move by compressing and deforming, much like the shock absorbers on a car. Discs allow your vertebrae to rock back and forth, giving you the flexibility to bend and more.
