This acts as a relay point between various organs and the brain. All the information from joints, bones, nerves, ligaments and abdominal organs travels through the spinal cord to the brain. It is protected by bones known as vertebrae. There are 33 vertebrae in our spine and the spinal cord runs in the centre of it. In between bones, there is a jelly-like highly complex magnificent structure called an “intervertebral disc” or simply called a “disc”. This acts as a shock absorber and provides cushion, and flexibility to vertebrae. When slipped disc happens due to various reasons (repetitive injury to the back, sudden jerk, weight lifting, old age, wear & tear, and even genetic cause), the supporting disc between vertebrae slips backwards and can compress either the spinal cord or the nerves that come out of a small opening on each side. This compression can be of varying intensity depending on the severity of the slipped disc. It typically happens in the lower lumbar spine and compresses the lower lumbar nerves which combine together to form a big nerve known as “sciatic nerve”. Hence, the terminology “sciatica”.
