Frequently Asked Questions
Q.
Do
I have a Slipped Disk?
A.
Discs are known as the "shock absorbers" of the spine and are made up of a fibrous
outer ring and a jelly-like center. Commonly, a variety of disc problems throughout
the spine may be referred to as a "slipped disc." A disc cannot actually slip
because of the way it attaches into the bones above and below. Discs can tear,
decay, bulge, or dehydrate, all of which can be serious problems. However, discs
cannot slip.
