| When there is spinal joint malfunction, the discs, ligaments and other connective tissue are affected, too. |
| Histopathology |
| Abnormal soft tissue function |
| While technically you can't have a "slipped" disc, the soft pulpy discs that separate each spinal vertebra can tear, bulge, herniate and degenerate. |
 Ligaments and other connective tissues in the area of the malfunctioning spinal joint are often involved. Inflammation and swelling accompany the accumulation of blood and lymph, causing a rise in temperature.
Unlike most other tissues of the body, discs and liagments have a poor blood suppy. This makes the healing of soft tissues a very slow and time-consuming process. |
| In fact, complete healing often requires continued care even after the relief of obvious symptoms. |
