   1. a herniated disc when other non-surgical treatments have failed. The nucleus pulposus (the jelly-like center of the disc) of the herniated disc bulges out through the annulus (surrounding wall) and presses on the nerve root next to it. 2. degenerative disc disease (spondylosis). The disc consists of about 80% water.

   Herniated disc at C6–C7 level. Cervical disc herniations occur in the neck, most often between the fifth and sixth (C5–6) and the sixth and seventh (C6–7) cervical vertebral bodies. There is an increased susceptibility amongst older (60+) patients to herniations higher in the neck, especially at C3–4. [23]

   The first study by Stirling and Lambert found Propionibacterium acnes in the extruded disc material in patients undergoing surgery [25] inspired the bacterial theory. [citation needed] The discovery has led to many studies trying to identify bacteria in the disc material. The methods used in the studies to determine the presence of bacteria ...
