Melva Mitchell Fort Worth - Herniated Disc

Melva Mitchell Fort Worth - The loss of said mobility causes the nerves to be irritated. And therefore there is an interference in the transmission of nerve impulses. Between each vertebra there is a structure. The intervertebral disc, which has the function of cushioning.

The disc is made up of the nucleus pulposus and the annulus fibrosus. The nucleus pulposus occupies the central part and has a high water content. Which decreases with age. Causing it to lose elasticity and the ability to withstand stress over the years. The annulus fibrosus covers. The nucleus pulposus and is made up of laminae arranged at different angles. Which facilitates the transmission of pressure.

From the age of 30, degenerative changes occur in the disc that lead to a loss of resistance. The annulus fibrosus can become incompetent and the nucleus can be displaced posteriorly. Disc protrusion and even rupture, causing the nucleus to displace further. This is what is known as a herniated disc and can cause symptoms due to nerve root. Compression or even spinal compression, in severe cases. Herniated discs are more frequent at the cervical and lumbar level. As these are the segments with the greatest mobility of the spine.
