Disc Pain/Stenosis/Radiculopathy Success Secret #1

Disc/Stenosis/Radiculopathy

 Success Secret #1:

Your Problems Started Long

Before You Felt Pain.

 

 

Damage can occur to your spinal discs long before you feel it, due to the way discs are constructed.  Let me explain.  When we look at a disc in the spine, we see it is made up of a gel-like substance in the centre called the nucleus pulposus.  It has the consistency of well-chewed gum.  Surrounding the nucleus pulposis (and containing it) is a ring of cartilage called the annulus fibrosis.  It is in this outer ring of cartilage where nerve fibers are found but the thing is, they are most abundant in the outer one-third.  Why do I mention this?  Because you can have a bulge in the disc where the gel center can push through the inner two-thirds of the cartilage before you know something is wrong.  It is only when the gel substance pushes all the way to the outer one-third that you will perceive pain.  By then, the disc damage has been done.  The good news however, is that our program is designed to safely and effectively care for this very condition.
