The spine is divided into the upper spine (cervical), middle spine (thoracic) and lower spine (lumbar).  Generally, the upper spine consists of seven vertebrae.  The middle spine consist of twelve vertebrae and the lower spine consists of five vertebrae.  The remaining vertebrae are in sacrum (located below the lumbar) and coccyx (located below the sacrum).  Each vertebrae in the upper, middle and lower spine is cushioned by a disc.  Each disc consists of a soft inner portion and a tough outer portion.  A herniated disc occurs when the soft inner portion protrudes out of the outer portion.  Most herniated discs occur in the lower spine, but they can also occur in the upper spine and even in the middle spine.  Herniated discs can be detected using various medical tests, including MRI\u2019s, X-Rays, CT Scans and Myelograms.   <\/p>\n<div class=\"read_more_link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.racinelaw.net\/blog\/top-3-symptoms-herniated-disc\/\"  title=\"Continue Reading Top 3 Symptoms of a Herniated Disc\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading \u203a<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A herniated disc (also referred to as a slipped disc) can occur in people of any age, although most people who receive herniated discs are in their 30\u2019s and 40s\u2019s.
