A disc cannot slip!!🫢
So, what actually happens?🤔
A disc is made out of two circular structures:🎱
A tough fibrous outer ring is like a car tyre.
A soft, jelly-like inner core.
Over time (due to aging, repetitive strain, or injury) small tears can develop in the outer ring. This is to be expected and completely normal!😅
The soft jelly in the inner core can leak into these tears.
This is called a disc herniation!
