Chiropractic and Disc Herniations
A disc herniation is when there is a problem with one of the rubbery cushions (discs) that sit between the bones that stack up to form your spine. The disc is made up of a nucleus which is found in the center of the disc and contains a soft jelly-like substance. Surrounding the nucleus is a tough exterior called the annulus that supports the contents of the nucleus.
