Community Advisor Search Send to a friend Home  Diseases, Conditions and Injuries Herniated Disk (Ruptured Disk, Prolapsed Disk, Slipped Disk) by Amy Scholten, MPH Definition Causes Risk Factors ... Organizations Definition A herniated disk (or disc) happens when one of the disks in the spine bulges from its proper place. Disks are small circular cushions between the vertebrae (bones) in the spine. The disks are compressible and act as cushions for the bones of the spine. Herniated disks press on the nerves where they exit from the spinal column in close proximity to the disk and can cause severe pain. This is most common in the lower spine. Herniated Lumbar Disc www.nucleusinc.com Causes Herniated disks can occur when disks dry out, become flatter and provide less cushioning. If they become too weak, the outer part may tear. The inside part may then push through the tear and press on the nerves next to it. Risk Factors A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting a disease or condition. Age: 30s and 40s Trauma from a fall, accident, or sudden twisting

42. Computer Model Points To Causes Of Slipped Disk Volume 50, No. 7. Computer model points to causes of slipped disk. Stress that exceeds the strength of the anulus fibers results in a slipped disk. http://www.emory.edu/EMORY_REPORT/erarchive/1997/October/eroctober.6/10_6_97Slip

Emory Report October 6, 1997 Volume 50, No. 7 Computer model points to causes of slipped disk A three-dimensional computer model of the spinal column developed earlier this year by William Hutton, a professor in the Department of Orthopaedics, and his colleagues dispels several commonly held views about the cause of prolapsed, or "slipped," spinal disks. The model, which was compiled from scans of people's spines, took about a year and a half to construct. It takes about three-and-a-half hours to run the program on a supercomputer. The computerized model allows researchers to tinker with various parameters. "We could see what happens, for example, when you bend forward and lift a heavy weight," said Hutton. The model helped him and his colleagues discover that-contrary to popular belief-a tear in the disk begins at the center and works its way out. Hutton compared the disk to a car tire. The hub is the fluid-filled nucleus, he said, and the thick outer ring is the anulus. It was once believed that when people bend forward the outer edge of the anulus is stretched and becomes prone to tears. "What often happens is the nucleus bursts through like a puncture in a car tire and blasts away through the anulus to leak onto the outside disk," Hutton explained. Stress that exceeds the strength of the anulus fibers results in a slipped disk. This can come from bending, twisting, heavy lifting and fluid saturation of the disk. Hutton and his team found that a slipped disk is more likely to occur in the morning after disks have absorbed water and nutrients overnight. People are taller in the morning, Hutton said, because their disks have swelled during the night while they lie in sleep.

Pre Op Journal Post Op Journal Recovery - Week One Recovery - Week Two ... Photos Eric's Pre-Operation Journal I have been living with pain and occasional numbness in my neck and right arm and hand (especially the middle three fingers) for several years. I cannot recall when the pain first started, but I have had several accidents/incidents in the last 10 years that could have caused, or worsened, the condition. Until about two years ago, I lived a pretty active life doing things like martial arts, cliff diving, swing dancing, and sports like basketball and football. I am also a computer programmer by day, and not so occasionally, by night. Throughout the years, I have treated the pain through a combination of acupressure, acupuncture, massage, cupping, stretching, and chiropractic care, but since it rarely flares up to a level that prevents me from working, I have not pursued it beyond that. As I mentioned, I am a computer programmer with very long hours and poor posture and I have always assumed that this type of pain just kind've went with the territory. I have also gone through multiple periods in which I was not insured and simply could not afford medical attention. A few weeks ago I had another flare up (these things happen maybe once a year for the past 3 years) and could not move my neck due to excruciating pain. I had an MRI performed and the doctor (an orthopedic surgeon in Singapore where I live) discovered that I had a herniated (or slipped) disk between the C5 and C6 vertebrae.

A herniated disk, also known as a slipped disk, is a protrusion of the central portion of one of the flat, circular pads found in the joints between the bones of the spine (vertebrae). A slipped disk can cause symptoms by pressing either on a nerve leaving the spinal cord or on the spinal cord itself. Each disk has a soft and gelatinous inner portion surrounded by a tough outer ring that allows it to act as a shock absorber between the bones of the spine. Weakness or trauma may allow the inner portion to push through the outer ring (in some cases compressing one of the spinal nerves and causing pain and numbness in the neck or along an arm or leg). A herniated disk may then rupture. In a rupture, the soft gel squeezes through the outer shell and may press on the nerves. The intervertebral disks in the neck and especially the lumbar spine are the most likely to rupture. What Causes It?

Low Back Pain: Tips on Pain Relief and Prevention Printer-friendly version Email this article What can cause low back injuries? Many things can cause low back injuriesmuscle strain or spasm, sprains of ligaments (which attach bone to bone), joint problems or a "slipped disk." The most common cause is using your back muscles in activities you're not used to, like lifting heavy furniture or doing yard work. A slipped disk happens when the disk between the bones bulges and presses on nerves. This is often caused by twisting while lifting. But many people won't know what caused their slipped disk. Return to top What can I do for relief when I've hurt my lower back? The best position for relief when your back hurts is to lie on your back on the floor with pillows under your knees, with your hips and knees bent and your feet on a chair, or just with your hips and knees bent. This takes the pressure and weight off your back. If you're resting a hurt back, you may need 1 to 2 days of this sort of rest. Resting longer than this can cause your muscles to weaken, which can slow your recovery. Even if it hurts, walk around for a few minutes every hour.

What's a herniated disk... Treatment options for a lumbar herniated disk The care of a patient with a lumbar herniated disk is far from standardized and, to a certain extent, needs to be individualized for each patient. A lumbar disk herniation usually causes leg pain (sciatica or a radiculopathy) and is often referred to as a pinched nerve, bulging disk, ruptured disk, or a slipped disk. The treatment will largely depend on the length of time the patient has had his or her symptoms and the severity of the pain. Generally, patients will be advised to start with 6 to 12 weeks of conservative treatment (such as physical therapy).

Slipped Disk Spinal Discs are blamed for many painful conditions and have a reputation for bringing little else but trouble. Yet, were it not for these vital intervertebral "pads," we could not move about with the ease and flexibility that we do. Discs are cushions. There is one between each two vertebrae (bones) of the spinal column. They are the spine's shock absorbers, and when they are healthy they do a magnificent job. Discs have few nerves; they of themselves cannot be painful. It is only when they bulge or "slip" due to weakness or wedging, along with misalignment of the vertebrae above and below them, that they press upon the spinal cord or nerves, thus producing pain. A side view of a normal spine shows that it is not as straight as perhaps generally supposed. There are curves which give the spine additional shock absorbing properties. A jolt or bump to any part of the body is diffused to the spine and it is principally the discs which absorb the impact, even in such everyday jolts as those created by walking. Since a vertebra cannot become misaligned without involving one or more discs to some degree, it is easy to see why these innocent discs get blamed for causing trouble more often than they deserve. Nature placed these cushioning discs between the spinal segments for a most special and serviceable purpose. They act as hinges between the vertebrae and it is their elasticity which gives the spine whatever mobility it has.

search citypaper.net cover story news opinion arts ... Subscribe pretzel logic Slipped Disk A Frisbee freak-out at the E-Centre and a cry of police brutality. By Howard Altman One thing about the E-Centre in Camden that should be clear by now many people have many complaints about many aspects of the cement sarcophagus of sound. But no complaint is quite as outrageous as that of 33-year-old Philadelphia landscaper Christopher Leswing, who says his heinous transgression of trying to bring a Day-Glo orange Frisbee into the Furthur Festival was paid for with a night in jail, a broken jaw, damaged teeth and a tongue that no longer works quite right. Leswing says his Les Miserablian journey into the land of the smashed mandible began about 5:30 p.m. on June 28. What Leswing failed to realize was that, in these litigious times, the people who run the E-Centre view Frisbees with the same dread that James Bond viewed Odd Job's razor-brimmed derby. Leswing did not find this out until he was in line to get into the show, when a guard at the VIP gate "rudely" told him that Frisbees are verboten. Leswing says he then walked over to the main gate, and asked if he could store the Frisbee until after the show.
