The Spinal Column
The spinal column runs from the top of the neck, extending from the brain to the lower part of the back down to the coccyx.
The spine is essentially divided into 3 areas:
Cervical
The cervical section of the spine is in the neck area. The spinal column is made up of many parts of bone, and through the spine the spinal column shields the spinal cord, which runs from the brain down to the bottom of the spine and then branches out like lines coming from the power generator that carry electricity from its main source and then branch out from the generating station to the city and then branches out from there to various parts of the city.
Compression Fracture of the Spine
The spinal column is actually made up of soft bone, so sometimes in a traumatic event the person can get a compression fracture of the spine, which means the soft bone is compressed down. A bit more serious injury to the spine occurs when the nerves going down through the spine become injured.
Spinal Column – Discs
In between the many levels of the bone mass in the spine are discs. The discs can be likened to a rubber inner tube or a jelly donut. Within the disc is a soft substance that functions as a shock absorber, and discs give flexibility to the spine.
As people age the discs become less pliant and become tougher and less mushy. This is why it would appear that some older people are actually shrinking, because the discs in their backs are not as pliant, plus they’re becoming flatter and tougher.
Bulging Disk
A bulging disc is similar to an inner tube tire with a bulge in it. A bulging disc happens when the material within the disc starts to push through but does not come out of the disc, like a bulge in an inner tube.
This could still result in a very serious condition if the bulge is pressing upon the nerve that is exiting from the spinal column at that level of the spinal column.
Physicians can usually tell, because they understand which nerves come out of which areas in the spinal column and check out what section of the anatomy.
So the doctor usually can tell whether or not the bulge is pushing on the nerve by knowing whether or not there exists pain in a certain part of the body; whether or not the pain is radiating; and whether there is a loss of sensation or involvement in the motor function.
Herniated Disc
A herniated or torn disc means that the bulge has now opened up and the material within the disc has actually come out.
This would be a more serious situation, and quite often involves compression on a nerve that is coming out of that location of the spinal column. Another name that is used is a disc protrusion.
Ordinary X-rays will only show an image of the hard tissue, i.e., the spinal column or the bones in the arms and the legs and other parts of the anatomy.
In order to truly view an image of the herniated disc or the soft tissue, or other things such as cancer, the doctor will either need to take a CT scan or an MRI.
MRI means magnetic resonance imaging. The body basically goes inside the MRI equipment; the machine bounces through magnets in the machine impulses that are recorded and an exact image of the soft tissue comes out.
