What is a herniated disc?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

The spinal column is composed of twenty-four vertebrae stacked one on top of the other<\/strong>.<\/mark> These vertebrae articulate to allow movement of the spine while preserving the spinal cord. Between each vertebra, flexible discs absorb shocks and smooth the junction.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A herniated disc occurs when advanced degeneration of these discs causes one of them to overflow<\/strong>.<\/mark> Composed of a central nucleus called nucleus pulposus, this nucleus contains tens of thousands of cells that form a soft part. All around, the annulus fibrosus forms a flexible yet solid covering to protect the nucleus.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When this cracks, the central part of the disc emerges from its capsule and comes compress adjacent nerves surrounding the spinal cord<\/strong>.<\/mark> This pressure not only causes severe pain, but can also damage the nerve root.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There can be many causes of disc herniation, and natural aging is obviously a major factor in disc wear. but he's not the only one<\/strong>.<\/mark><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Repeated activities that place significant stress on the spine can lead to spinal injuries. micro-lesions on the discs<\/strong>.<\/mark> The accumulation of these disturbances can lead to a herniated disc.<\/p>\n

The prolonged sitting<\/mark><\/strong> is unnatural for the body and leads to disorders. Driving in general is a regular source of back pain. The position of the spine, coupled with the vibrations of the road and the engine, exert a pressure that is less visible but just as serious in its consequences.<\/p>\n

                Back pain is a well-known ailment, affecting an average of 8 out of 10 French people, according to IFOP. Among the most common causes, herniated discs are both painful and disabling.<\/p>\n

                When the discs of the spine no longer play their role as shock absorbers and compress the nerve roots, the suffering is intense and sometimes difficult to manage. The origins of this disturbance can be multiple, and our modern sedentary lifestyle does nothing to help.<\/p>\n

                However, natural solutions can provide an effective response to lower back pain and restore comfort, even with a herniated disc. We talk about it in this article.
