Herniated disc

Intervertebral disc herniation is one of the more common spinal diseases in clinical practice. Mainly because the various components of the intervertebral disc (nucleus pulposus, fibrous rings, cartilage plates), especially the nucleus pulposus, have different degrees of degenerative lesions. Under the influence of external factors, the fibrous rings of the intervertebral discs have ruptured, and the nucleus pulposus tissue has broken Protruded (or prolapsed) in the posterior (lateral) side or in the spinal canal, causing adjacent tissues such as spinal nerve roots and spinal cord to be stimulated or oppressed, causing neck, shoulder, lumbar and leg pain, numbness, and a series of clinical symptom.
