SLIPPED DISC Meaning

A slipped disc is the swelling in the cushion between two bones, most commonly the vertebra (individual bones of the spine). This cushion is supposed to provide mobility and flexibility to the spine. This cushion between the vertebra is called a disc and is filled with a gel-like substance that provides the flexibility.¹

Slipped disc is the swelling of this disc which causes pain and obstructs mobility of the spine. A swelling in the cushion leads to some of the gel in the disc to protrude out between the bones.¹

Ayurveda terms slipped disc as a part of vata vyadhi (diseases of vitiated vata dosha) that presents a pain and immobility of the spine.²
