Answer:
Slipped disc is a
medical condition in which spine is affected due to wear and tear in the outer
fibrous ring (anulus fibrosus) of an inter vertebral disc, allowing the soft,
central portion to bulge out beyond the damaged outer rings.
These inter vertebral
disc are present between the bodies of adjacent vertebrae from the second cervical
vertebra to the sacrum, This discs form strong joints that permit various movements
of vertebral column and absorbs vertical shock.
The cause of
slip disc can be due to general wear and tear of inter vertebral disc during performing
various jobs, that require constant sitting and squatting. The slipped disc or herniation
occurs in two regions of body, i.e., cervical disc and lumber disc.
Slip disc in
lower back lumber disc, lead to sharp pain in one part of leg due tosciatica, (disturbance
in sciatic nerve), hip and cause numbness in other lower parts of the body.
Slip disc in
neck region (cervical disc) leads to pain while moving neck near or over the
shoulder bone or pain occurs while moving forearm, or fingers. It also causes
numbness in shoulder, elbow, forearm and finger area.
Hence, slipped disc
affect the upper and lower body parts, thus, influencing life style and health.
