The vertebral column is fragmented into four parts. The
cervical region consists of 7 bony structures, the thoracic region
consists of 12 bony parts and the lumbar region has five bony segments
in the lower back area, five sacral bones (the sacrum) and four
coccygeal bones (the coccyx). For more information on help for five

The herniated disc is the
cause of lower back pain, mid back pain and constant back and leg pain.
A herniated disc causes pain, loss of feeling, tingling, or muscle
weakness. Non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are often used for
relieving back pain.

prescribe medications for back pain narcotic painkillers, such as
codeine. Exercises for back pain help in back pain treatment as an
easily available back pain therapy. The specially designed chair for

The vertebral bodies are numbered from 1 to 5 in the lumbar spine and the discs are
located between the two of the vertebral bodies. The change in the
normal structure of the disc results in lumbar disc disease. Usually,
disc disease takes place as a result of aging and the degeneration that
happens within the disc. Sometimes, acute trauma can cause herniation of
a normal disc and in such a case getting help for five herniated discs
should be our immediate concern.
