Herniated Disc
Between each vertebra of the spine are small cushions called intervertebral discs. These cushion the spine and allow it to flex.
A hernia occurs when increased pressure (inside the disc) causes the fibers of the fibrous ring to tear. This tear weakens the ring’s ability to hold in the nucleus, resulting in a bulge of varying size. The pain caused by a hernia is not proportional to its size.
A large hernia may cause little or no pain. Conversely, a small hernia can cause incapacitating and unbearable pain. This phenomenon can be explained by the location of the hernia. In the environment of the disc, there are tissues that are extremely sensitive to pressure and others that are less sensitive. For example, slight pressure on a nerve can be extremely painful. A herniation can cause compression of the nerve roots, resulting in pain in the arm or thigh.
Neurovertebral decompression treatment is particularly effective in relieving pain caused by herniated discs.
