SpondylolisthesisNormal Pressure Hydrocephalus
Low Back Pain
Sciatica
Slipped Disc
A slipped disc is not slipped! There are various types of disc herniations, Schmorel’s node where the disc goes inside the vertebral body (seldom symptomatic), a disc protrusion, disc extrusion, disc sequestration ...., in increasing severity, reflects the degree of disc herniation present. Generally, a disc bulge is normal for most patients over the age of 40. You cannot “push a disc back in.” It seldom is necessary to replace a disc for a simple operation where a nerve is compressed causing pain down the hip and leg. Technology exists, but simply because it “can be done does not mean it should be done.”
