What Are Spinal Disc Problems? Spinal disks are rubbery pads between the vertebrae, the specialized bones that make up the spinal column. Doctors call them intervertebral disks. Each disk is a flat, circular capsule about an inch in diameter and one-quarter inch thick.
Types of Spinal Disc Problem • Dessicated Disc The disc loses its fluid content and degenerates down to a rough, worn-down or worn-out appearance. This occurs as the bones begin to fuse to each other.
Prolapsed Disc A prolapsed disc often causes severe lower back pain. The disc often presses on a nerve root which can cause pain and other symptoms in a leg. In most cases, the symptoms ease off gradually over several weeks.
Herniated Disc A herniated disk refers to a problem with one of the rubbery cushions between the individual bones that stack up to make your spine.
Disc Tear When the outer lining of a disc "tears," its center may rupture and press a spinal nerve against the bony surface of a vertebra. This condition is often referred to as a ruptured disc.
Bulging Disc A bulgingdisc injury is a common spine injury sustained to your spine's intervertebral disc. It can occur in your lumbar spine thoracic spine or your cervical spine A bulging disc can commonly be referred to as a slipped disc or a protruding disc.
