Do I have a slipped disk?
Discs are known as the shock absorbers of the spine and are made up of a fibrous outer ring and a jelly like center. Commonly, a variety of disc problems throughout the spine may be referred to as a slipped disc. A disc cannot actually slip because of the way it attaches into the bones above and below. Discs can tear, decay, bulge or dehydrate, all of which can be serious problems. However, discs cannot slip.
