The spine is made up of bones (vertebrae) stacked together to form a loose ‘S’-shaped column. Each vertebra is cushioned by spongy tissue called intervertebral discs. Pairs of small joints (facet joints) connect vertebrae to one another. Vertebrae can become so porous and brittle that they break easily, causing pain.

This escaped fluid exerts pressure on the nerve roots that run along both sides of the vertebrae, causing pain and dysfunction. A healthy spine is composed of healthy discs "sandwiched" between two vertebrae. The herniated disc also becomes a structural weak point in the spine itself.
