    Encyclopedia Index H Home Encyclopedia Encyclopedia Index H Herniated disk Definition Disk herniation is a rupture of fibrocartilagenous material (annulus fibrosis) that surrounds the intervertebral disk. This rupture involves the release of the disk's center portion containing a gelatinous substance called the nucleus pulposus. Pressure from the vertebrae above and below may cause the nucleus pulposus to be forced outward, placing pressure on a spinal nerve and causing considerable pain and damage to the nerve. This condition most frequently occurs in the lumbar region and is also commonly called herniated nucleus pulposus, prolapsed disk, ruptured intervertebral disk, or slipped disk. Description The spinal column is made up of 26 vertebrae that are joined together and permit forward and backward bending, side bending, and rotation of the spine. Five distinct regions comprise the spinal column, including the cervical (neck) region, thoracic (chest) region, lumbar (low back) region, sacral and coccygeal (tailbone) region. The cervical region consists of seven vertebrae, the thoracic region includes 12 vertebrae, and the lumbar region contains five vertebrae. The sacrum is composed of five fused vertebrae, which are connected to four fused vertebrae forming the coccyx . Intervertebral disks lie between each adjacent vertebra. Each disk is composed of a gelatinous material in the center, called the nucleus pulposus, surrounded by rings of a fiberous tissue (annulus fibrosus). In disk herniation, an intervertebral disk's central portion herniates or slips through the surrounding annulus fibrosus into the spinal canal, putting pressure on a nerve root. Disk herniation most commonly affects the lumbar region between the fifth lumbar vertebra and the first sacral vertebra. However, disk herniation can also occur in the cervical spine. The incidence of cervical disk herniation is most common between the fifth and sixth cervical vertebrae. The second most common area for cervical disk herniation occurs between the sixth and seventh cervical vertebrae. Disk herniation is less common in the thoracic region.

    ABSTRACT Background The relation between abnormalities in the lumbar spine and low back pain is controversial. We examined the prevalence of abnormal findings on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the lumbar spine in people without back pain. Methods We performed MRI examinations on 98 asymptomatic people. The scans were read independently by two neuroradiologists who did not know the clinical status of the subjects. To reduce the possibility of bias in interpreting the studies, abnormal MRI scans from 27 people with back pain were mixed randomly with the scans from the asymptomatic people. We used the following standardized terms to classify the five intervertebral disks in the lumbosacral spine: normal, bulge (circumferential symmetric

    LUMBAR DISK DISEASE About Your Diagnosis
    Your lumbar spine (low back) is made of five vertebrae separated by cartilaginous disks that serve as the "shock absorbers" of the spine. They act as a cushion between the bones and allow some flexibility of the lower back. Degenerative changes or trauma may rupture the annulus fibrosus, the tough band of cartilage surrounding each disk, and disk material may bulge or herniate into the spinal canal or nerve root canal. The herniated or bulging piece of the disk or degenerative bone spur may compress the spinal cord or nerve root, causing pain in the back or "tingling and numbness" that may radiate to the buttocks, hips, groin, or legs. The pain from a bulging or herniated disk is worse on movement and may be worsened by coughing, laughing, or straining while having a bowel movement. Some patients also have weakness, clumsiness, drop foot, or walking intolerance. Living With Your Diagnosis
    Degenerative changes in the disks are a normal process as we age. Tobacco abuse, poor posture, and strenuous work with poor lifting technique may accelerate the degenerative changes. The disks gradually become worn, less plump, and eventually flattened. When the disk space becomes narrow enough that the vertebrae rub one another, then wear and tear changes develop at the edges of the vertebrae. This wear and tear causes bone spurs to develop that may begin to press on the end of the spinal cord and/or one of its nerve roots. As the nerve becomes irritated, it may cause back and leg pain, tingling and numbness, or weakness in the legs or feet. Rarely, with extremely large, acute disk herniations, a loss of bladder and bowel control may occur.

    New Study: Weightlifting Does Not Correlate with Degenerative Lumbar Disk Disease
    A study published in the October 1997 issue of Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise by T. Videman and associates from the Department of Health Sciences, University of Jyvaskyla, Finland examined the effect of lifetime exercise on MRI findings in monozygotic twins. The study examined:
    • The effects of endurance exercise in 22 discordant twin pairs (mean lifetime frequencies of 3.9 vs 1.1 times/wk) The effects of power sports in 12 discordant pairs (2,300 vs 200 hours of weightlifting).
    The study found:
    • No differences in MRI findings between co-twins discordant for endurance exercise at any of the spinal regions. Subjects with more power sport involvement had greater disk degeneration in the T6-T12 region (P <0.03), but similar findings were not present in the lumbar spine.
    The study concluded:
    • No signs of beneficial or harmful effects of lifetime endurance exercise on disk degeneration were seen. Increased power sport participation was associated with slightly greater disk degeneration in the lower thoracic spine, but not in the lumbar spine.

    (Editor's Note: A common question for physicians at workers' compensation depositions is whether heavy lifting caused the employee's lumbar degenerative disk disease. This small but clever study would provide information that would argue against such causation. wln)

    Medical News Archive Backaches May Be in Your Genes By Jeanie Lerche Davis WebMD Medical News Archive Reviewed By Dr. Tonja Wynn Hampton April 11, 2001 "Oh! My aching back!" It's one complaint that nearly all of humankind has in common. Many people just live with it, putting up with bouts of pain. But for a few select people, back problems are so severe they become chronic and debilitating, often requiring surgery. Now a group of researchers has identified a genetic abnormality that dramatically increases the risk of one of the most common back disorders lumbar disk disease. They hope this genetic defect may eventually be a target for gene therapy. "This is a breakthrough," study author Leena Ala-Kokko, MD, PhD, associate professor in the Center for Gene Therapy at Tulane University Health Sciences Center in New Orleans, tells WebMD. "It's quite possible that genetic defects may be the major cause of this disease." The research findings appear in the April 11 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association.
