Pain Management: Specialist and Treatment

Severe back pain is sometimes triggered by spinal disc problems. Discs are tough cushions resting between the vertebrae. Back pain doctors call them intervertebral discs. The discs are flat, rounded capsules of about 1inch in diameter and 1/4 inch in thickness. They contain a really tough, fibrous outer membrane called annulus fibrosus and a central core referred to as nucleus pulposus. Strongly embedded between the spinal bones (vertebrae) and supported by the ligaments and the neighboring muscles, intervertebral discs lack adequate room to slide out or move. They only move and turn on facet joints.
