What Is Spondylosis?
5. Herniated Discs
Another fairly common cause of spondylosis is herniated discs. The condition is also known as slipped discs, ruptured discs, and bulged discs. This is another condition that affects the discs between each vertebra that act as cushions. It happens due to the way the discs are located in a structure that surrounds the disc, helping to keep them in place.
In some instances, the disc will rupture through this structure, resulting in what we call a herniated disc. The condition can be very painful for the patient and it can also have a considerable negative impact on their mobility. The condition can be treated in many cases.
