- Lumbar disk disease is due to a change in the structure of the normal disk. Most of the time, disk disease comes as a result of aging and the degeneration that occurs within the disk. Occasionally, severe trauma can cause a normal disk to herniate. Trauma may also cause an already herniated disk to worsen.

- Degeneration reduces the disc's normal ability to absorb physical impact and provide cushioning for the vertebral column. Degeneration of a thoracic disc is marked by a gradual narrowing of the disc space, placing stress on the other joints of the vertebrae (facet joints).

Far Lateral Disc Herniations â Lumbar Spine 2-5% of the time, a disc herniation will occur in the far lateral position. This location is part of the spine outside the spinal canal. The exiting nerve travels through the foramen (exit hole) and lies next to the disc wall here.A disc herniation at this far lateral location will compress the nerve.The nerve becomes tented over the herniation as it exits into the muscle (the psoas) on the side of the spine.he exiting nerve travels through the foramen (exit hole) and lies next to the disc wall here.

- When a disc in the spine is traumatized by any injury to the neck or back, the disc becomes weakened and can bulge or protrude into the spinal canal. The bulge can occur in the neck (known as a cervical bulging disc), mid-back (thoracic bulging disc) or lower back (lumbar bulging disc). When a disc has a significant protrusion, it can compress a nearby nerve root, which can cause pain at the location of the bulging disc injury along the spine.

- A herniated lumbar disc can cause pain in the back and all the way down the legs and feet. About 90% of herniated discs occur in the lumbar spine. Treatment for a herniated disc includes anti-inflammatory medication, physical therapy and steroid injections.

Vacuum Disc Phenomenon Vacuum Disc Phenomenon. Vacuum disc phenomenon refers to accumulation of gas within the inter-vertebral disc area, but it typically does not lead to compression of nerves. However, some uncommon forms of vacuum disc phenomenon affecting the spinal canal can result in posterior displacement of gas inside the epidural area. Vacuum disc phenomenon is a condition characterized by degeneration of the spinal/vertebral disc over some time, which occurs due to erosion of the cartilage and buildup of gas bubbles in the space occurring between and within the disc. The gas is just air, primarily nitrogen, and can be detected via X-rays. The presence of vacuum disc phenomenon is an indication that degeneration or wearing out of the vertebral disc may occur or is occurring. The condition by itself does not result in any abnormal symptoms. However, if the disc gets sufficiently worn out, then it can result in pain.

- &COPY; Reed Group Displacement of a cervical intervertebral disc refers to protrusion or herniation of the disc between two adjacent bones (vertebrae) of the cervical spine in the neck (vertebrae C2 through C7). Note that there is no disc between the skull and C1 or between C1 and C2.

Cervical Disc Displacement: Causes, Symptoms, Treatment In majority of the cases, Cervical Disc Displacement occurs due to the natural process of aging with degeneration of the cervical spine. With age, the water content in the cervical discs gets reduced making the disc weak. This is medically termed as disc degeneration.

- 1 A herniated disc at lumbar segment 4 and 5 (L4-L5) usually causes L5 nerve impingement. 2  In addition to sciatica pain, this type of herniated disc can lead to weakness when raising the big toe and possibly in the ankle, also known as foot drop. 3  Numbness and pain can also be felt on top of the foot. A herniated disc at cervical segment 4 and 5 (C4-C5) causes C5 nerve root impingement. 2  Patients may feel weakness in the deltoid muscle in the upper arm but do not usually feel numbness or tingling sensations. 3  A cervical herniated disc at this level can also cause shoulder pain.

Herniated lumbar disc Lumbar disc herniation is one of the most common causes of lower back pain associated with leg pain, and occurs 15 times more often than cervical (neck) disc herniation. Disc herniation occurs 8% of the time in the cervical (neck) region and only 1 to 2% of the time in the upper-to-mid-back (thoracic) region [1].

Paracentral disc protrusion 1 Lateral disc protrusion – the bulge pushes toward the left or right of the spinal canal, where it can pinch nerve roots that branch off the spinal cord. 2  Paracentral disc protrusion – the bulge pushes near the center of the spinal canal, where it can impinge the spinal cord and nerve roots.

Disc Definition Spine Anatomy Video. A disc is the soft pad positioned in between each of the vertebrae of the spine. The vertebral disc acts as a spacer, shock absorber, and part of the cartilaginous joints that allow movement in the spine. The disc can withstand compression and other stresses, while allowing a great deal of movement and flexibility.

- Lumbar osteoarthritis is a form of degenerative arthritis in the low back that causes pain, stiffness, and inflammation in the joints between vertebrae. There are two facet joints on the back of each vertebra that connect the bones of the spine and allow for a small amount of movement.one spurs may also form on the facet joints and around the spinal vertebrae which may irritate or compress nerves passing through the spinal structure causing symptoms of radiating nerve pain. Learn how osteoarthritis occurs and how it can cause lower back pain and other symptoms. 1  Tweet.

- A diagnosis of a displaced disc is not an indication for treatment. If the disc restricts movement and causes pain, treatment may be required. However, the two can be totally unrelated. If a displaced disc is present with no pain, then no treatment is needed.nternal derangement involves displacement of the disc that acts as a cushion between the skull and lower jaw. Sometimes it can be accompanied by a clicking and or popping sound.

Lumbar Herniated Disc Causes Lumbar Herniated Disc Causes. Lumbar herniated disc causes include the possibility of intervertebral bulges which occur due to normal or accelerated spinal degeneration, prolapsed discs which are enacted by traumatic injury and purely idiopathic disc herniations. There are very few cases in which a definitive causative process can be identified as creating a herniated disc.

Lumbar Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) Lumbar DDD Causes. The low back pain associated with lumbar degenerative disc disease is usually generated from one or both of two sources: 1  Inflammation, as the proteins in the disc space irritate the surrounding nerves-both the small nerve within the disc space and potentially the larger nerves that go to the legs.egenerative disc disease in the lumbar spine, or lower back, refers to a syndrome in which a compromised disc causes low back pain.

Herniated Lumbar Disc Most disc herniations occur in the bottom two discs of the lumbar spine, at and just below the waist. A herniated lumbar disc can press on the nerves in the spine and may cause pain, numbness, tingling or weakness of the leg called sciatica.. Sciatica affects about 1-2% of all people, usually between the ages of 30 and 50.

Lumbosacral Herniated Disc L5-S1 Herniated Disc L5-S1 Occurrence. L5/S1 is the disc which separates the lumbar spinal region from the sacrum. It is also called the lumbosacral disc. This disc, along with L4/L5, bears the brunt of the forces imposed upon the spine during normal and extraordinary movement.erniated Disc L5-S1 Conclusions. The L5/S1 level often herniates. It endures so much trauma in doing the most normal things and it is well documented that disc degeneration facilitates herniations. To be diagnosed with a disc condition at L5/S1 should never be a shock; it should instead be an expectation.
