Find information about slipped disc. 

Answer»

1. The bones of vertebral column are supported by the intervertebral discs.

2. These intervertebral discs act as shock absorbers due to which they are constantly compressed.

3. The disc consists of two parts – soft gelatinous inner part (nucleus pulposus) and tough outer ring.

If the ligaments of the intervertebral discs become injured, the pressure developed in the nucleus pulposus protrudes posteriorly or into one of the adjacent vertebrae. This is known as slipped disc.
