General & Family Physician 's  Response
our spinal cord which is enclosed in our vertebrae gives rise to nerves which supply our muscles and organs. sometimes the discs which are present between our vertebrae prolapse from their natural position and cause pain. you need to consult a spinal surgeon and a physiotherapist.
