What is intervertebral hernia


Intervertebral hernia (extrusion) – a type of degenerative disease of the intervertebral discs.

With age, with the weakening of the muscles, cartilage structure have to bear a heavy load, causing them to stiffen, become drier.
The first stage of development of a herniated disc – low back pain. At this stage, changes in the structure of the drive is not considered a disease. The weakening of the muscles, the coarsening of the disc has a protective function, because of the musculoskeletal system is necessary to ensure that walking upright and hold the entire structure of the body, regardless of the state of the muscular system. But losing elasticity, going gets tough, the intervertebral disc is starting to crumble. Fibrous ring holding disc content is stretched, deformed, and sometimes broken, forming a hernia.


Stages of development of a herniated disc:


  • bulging annulus fibrosus 2-3 millimeters (prolapse stage)

  • increase up to 4-6 millimeters protrusion (protrusion step),

  • gap annulus fibrosus, with partial hit contents disc nucleus into the spinal canal (step hernia).

timely diagnosis


Most people know about the state of his spine is very small.
Rarely, who, faced with back pain, immediately decides to see a doctor and make a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A recurrent back pain in a third of cases, it is caused by a herniated disc.


When the pain in any spine is best to consult with a specialist.
At the stage of prolapse and disc protrusion restore health rather easily. But also on the stage of the hernia, with regular work, you can achieve seam rupture of the fibrous ring. The neglect of the existing problems usually leads to a deterioration of the situation.

In this case, if you’re going to do some kind of extreme sport, acrobatics, or go to the advanced yoga class as a beginner is better to pre-check the condition of the spine, to avoid possible injury.


Yogaterapiya against hernia

miracle of recovery


When yogaterapevty tell of the many examples of complete recovery of hernias, and doctors shows MRI images, which show how the hernia is reduced and then disappears completely, it would be desirable to cry enthusiastically that yogaterapiya work wonders.
But hunched by a spasm of the patient is separated from the flexible, strong and healthy person is not a “miracle”, and not “luck”, and many hours of hard training their own, full of will and determination.
