The spine is made up of hollow bones called vertebrae.
The nerves that run from the brain to the limbs are housed within the hollow tunnel called the spinal canal.
Between vertebrae are the vertebral discs that are made of tough elastic material and act as shock absorbers allowing the spine to bend and twist naturally.
These discs can degenerate and become weak with age or due to an injury.
Disc Prolapse happens when the soft inner material of the vertebral disc bulges or bursts through the outer lining of cartilage and puts pressure on the spinal nerve. Click on the image to watch the video.
Everything can be taken from a person but the last of human freedoms, the right to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances – the right to choose one’s own way.
