The intervertebral disc is an important structure that is present between each vertebral body of the spine. There are 23 discs in total throughout the spine and whilst movement potential at each level is
relatively small, the combined potential allows us great freedom to perform many activities. However, it is a structure that must be respected, as it is vulnerable to injury so it is important that we
understand it so we can learn how to protect it.
In this episode we discuss the anatomy of the intervertebral disc and the anatomical variations that can be seen between individuals. We identify the 3 major components to the intervertebral disc: the nucleus pulposus, annulus fibrosis, and the end plates, as well as discussing the key actions that we want to avoid in order to protect it. We also highlight how individual variation can dictate potential vulnerability to injury when performing different activities.

It’s now estimated that 80% of the global population will experience an episode of low back pain at some point in their lives! So why is it that the incidence of back pain is on the rise? Should we be concerned about the sedentary nature of our lives? And what can we do to avoid it?

The intervertebral discs can be considered ‘spacers’ that are present between each vertebral body of the spinal column. Each disc is comprised of tough rings of fibrous tissue called collagen. In the centre of each disc is contained a nucleus which is a gel like material, which is under pressure, and gives the disc the ability to bend. The intervertebral disc is an important structure, and vulnerable to injury, so it’s important to understand what activities can injury this structure, and just how you go about fixing it.
In this episode we discuss the common mechanisms behind injury to the intervertebral disc, and highlight the activities that are contributing to the problem. We discuss how a single event rarely causes injury but that repetitive actions are often the culprit, and what we need to be aware of to fix the underlying issue. We discuss how a ‘passive’ based approach to disc injury management WILL NOT solve the damage, without a consideration for daily spine hygiene and active rehabilitation.

The global incidence of back is on the rise, the number of people suffering over the longer term is increasing, and there is no single approach to curing back pain. However, back pain always has a cause, and if we can successfully teach people to understand their backs, and know the likely cause then we can help them to work their way out of pain, build strength, and get back to the activities they love.
In this episode we introduce Smartstrong and we discuss the motivation behind starting the podcast and the website.
