The Anatomy of Lumbar Vertebrae
The intervertebral discs of the lumbar spine bear the highest loads in the vertebral column. A disc consists of a nucleus pulposus a gelatinous core of hydrated proteoglycans surrounded by the annulus fibrosus, concentric rings of collagen fibres arranged at alternating angles. Under compressive load, the nucleus distributes pressure hydrostatically; under flexion, it migrates posteriorly. Disc degeneration loss of water content and proteoglycan, leading to reduced disc height and altered load distribution is one of the most common causes of chronic pain worldwide.
