What is slip disc?
The discs are present between every pair of vertebrae that make up the spinal column. The discs resemble gel-like cushions surrounded by outer cartilage sit between the thirty-three vertebrae. The gel-like cushions are known by the term ‘intervertebral discs’.
The function of the discs as a whole is to protect the spinal column from compression. The nucleus inside the disc comes out when the discs undergo an injury. The gel substance that acts as a shock-absorbent comes out of the cartilage and causes herniated or slip disc. The cartilage when torn, the gel oozes out.
