Disc Injury Care in Tustin CA

Intervertebral discs are the small cushions between your vertebrae. These discs are composed of a hard outer ring with a soft gel-like inner circle. The disc’s function is to hold together your vertebrae while preventing your bones from rubbing against one another during physical activity like bending over or lifting large objects. Your discs are very important. For example, your upper torso would be completely immobile without discs. The disc injuries that create pain and range limitations in the upper torso are:

• Protruding discs result from an asymmetrical disc where the inner circle gel area bulges out.
• Herniated discs result from a rupture of the disc material which bulges the gel as well.
• The worst, a disc extrusion, results from an expansion of the gel away from the vertebrae, or when the gel is broken off of the disc.

Disc Conditions that we focus on

• Discopathy or Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD): Damaged or worn down disc. Disc is an elastic, rubbery cushions between the vertebrae (bones in the spinal column) and acts as a shock absorber. Discs give the spine flexiblity to move, bend, and twist.
• Herniated Disc / Slipped Disc / Bulging Disc: It is a condition that some of the nucleus which is the jellylike center of the disc pushes out through a tear in an annulus fibrosis. Annulus fibrosis is a tougher rubbery exterior portion of the disc that encases the nucleus at the center of the disc.
• Spinal Canal Stenosis (Spinal Canal Narrowing): Decrease in the spaces inside the bones of the spine which is called “spinal canal” due to either a bulging disc or a wear-and-tear changes in the spine from arthritis which cause a pressure on the spinal cord and the nerves that travel through the spine.
