Lumbar Disc Herniations

Our waist is a structure that carries the weight of our body, transfers the load from the hips to the legs, and also enables our body to be mobile in our daily activities. Lumbar hernia is the definition given to all painful conditions that occur as a result of the displacement of the structure called disc, located between the vertebrae of the lumbar region, towards the canal through which the nerves and spinal cord pass.
