Spinal discs, or intervertebral discs, are ring-like packs situated between the bones or vertebrae of our spinal column, protecting those bones from rubbing against each other. Each disc is made up of an outer, fibrous membrane called the annulus fibrosus, which houses the soft, inner core called the nucleus pulposus.

When the nucleus pulposus protrudes due to a tear in the annulus fibrosus, it is termed as spinal disc herniation.Though spinal disc injury can be a result of trauma or unknown causes, disc generation as a result of aging is the major cause of this medical condition.

Activities which alter the spine’s alignment, such as sitting and lifting, can increase the internal pressure within the discs and cause damage. In most occasions, a disc herniation occurs when lifting a heavy object while the body is bent at the waist.

This treatment involves a spinal decompression table that doctors use to impute specific information related to the patient. The automated machine will then help to apply different force to different parts of the spine to help relieve the pressure. It slowly works to pull the spine, which can allow some of the disc to work back into a normal position.
