Prolapsed Intervertebral Disc (Pid)

Prolapsed Intervertebral Disc (Pid) - a “slipped” disc: protrusion of the nucleus pulposus of the substance of the intervertebral disc through the outer fibrous ring, causing compression of the spinal nerve roots located nearby. This condition often develops as a result of a sudden twist or bend that causes the spine to flex. The constant pressure placed on the nerve roots often leads to the development of sciatica in a person, and in severe cases even to disruption of the function of various nerves, which causes loss of sensation, weakening of muscles or loss of tendon reflexes in the affected area. During treatment, the patient must strictly observe bed rest, and he must lie on a hard mattress; Various manipulations, traction and analgesics are also used. If all these measures do not bring relief to the patient, then the protruding part of the disc is surgically removed (see Laminectomy, Microdiscectomy).

Prolapped Intervertebrald (PID) Disc is a protrusion of the nucleus pulposus between vertebrae caused by failure to rotate. This condition is observed most often after a sudden change in body position, and can manifest itself when straightening the body with compression of the nerve roots of the back. Constant compression of the nerve root leads to irritation of the nerve and the appearance of problems in the form of a feeling of muscle weakness, loss of sensitivity and tendon contractions. In the absence of obvious relief from pain, exercise and lying on a firm orthopedic mattress are recommended as a treatment process, however

You're probably wondering, "What kind of disc is this? Who digs it out of a vertebra?" Still, I decided to explain to you about it. Intervertebral disc - This is a structure between the vertebrae, which is part of the connecting muscular-ligamentous apparatus. The discs perform a shock-absorbing function, softening the load on the spinal column during movement, helping to resist compression of individual vertebrae. A condition where the bulging gelatinous center of an intervertebral disc passes through the outer annulus fibrosus (slipped, prolapsed) is called “Prolapsed Intervertebral Disc (PID)” or simply PID. The pain people feel with PID may be temporary, but in more severe cases it can lead to pain or even paralysis. Treatment for PID includes exercise, orthotics, medication, and sometimes surgery. However, it is important to remember that before starting treatment, you should consult with your doctor to determine which therapy will be most effective in your particular case.
