Hi there Jay Uecker here at the Netowrk Life Center in Louisville, CO. I want to talk with
you about disc herniation. Here's your spine. You have 24 vertebrae or 24 spinal bones in
your spine. Between each of those bones is this intervertebral disc or this connective
tissue pad. What can happen is the outer wall of that pad that disc can start to weaken
over time and that can result in a bulge where that disc starts to bulge or actually where
the insides of that disc, the internal material, starts to
squirt
out
of it and that can create
this herniation.
