This link shows some great images and animations of what happens when discs herniate, this can be one of the causes of sciatica. As Osteopaths, we often find that there are twists and strains either from trauma or posture related that increase the load on the discs and lead to damage and degeneration. Depending on the severity of the damage, releasing these strains can reduce to the loading on the discs and allow them to heal.
