Herniated disc

shutterstock_1208093551-1

The intervertebral disc consists of a central deformable cartilaginous part, called the “nucleus pulposus,” surrounded by a containing fibrous lining, called the annulus.

When the disc is young and healthy, all its components are fully hydrated, which gives the disc ideal tone and mechanical properties to support the “fluid” movement of the vertebrae between which it is interposed.
