A "slipped disc" or spinal disc herniation is a very common pathology and probably everyone of you has heard of it or even knows somebody suffering from it. But... what is it? Why would a spinal disc just "slip"? In the top left illustration you can see the structure of such an intervertebral disc. It consists of a dense, fibrous ring of firm collagen tissue. But inside there's a smooth, jellylike mass, called the "Nucleus pulposus", highlighted in green. As we age, the discs in our back lose some of the fluid that helps them stay flexible. The dense outer layer of the discs can form tiny tears or cracks. The thick gel inside the disc may be forced out through those cracks and cause the disc to bulge or break open. The Nucleus pulposus now applies pressure on the spinal canal (highlighted in green on the top left illustration) and thus irritates the spinal cord. It hurts a lot and, depending where the herniation is located, stimulates the spinal nerve. This mostly occurs in the lumbar segments because the whole weight of the upper body lies on those discs, and stimulates the nerves for our legs. This explains why many patients with herniated discs suffer from pain radiating into until their toes. Learn more about the incredible human body with this online anatomy atlas.
