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

Why do people suffer from herniated discs?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\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\n\n\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\n\n\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\n\n\n

Finally, certain pathologies such as osteoarthritis<\/mark><\/strong>A herniated disc can be the result of an accident, a severe shock or being overweight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the symptoms of a herniated lumbar disc?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pain is obviously the first symptom, but herniated discs are not always painful. In fact, the degeneration of the discs does not <\/mark><\/strong>no systematic pressure on the nerves<\/strong>.<\/mark> The main symptoms are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
