Yoga And Vertebral Disc

Vertebral disc is the connective material between two vertebrae (cartilage fibrous). This provides a bit joint space and minor mobility. This disc also provides the space at the sides for the passage of nerves (Spinal nerves). Since it is a soft material than the bone there is a chance of compression, stretch and the dryness because of various reasons. Especially during the Yoga practices, the chances will be more if the learning process is mechanical than a lifestyle.

Common Causes of Vertebral disc Degeneration:

1.      Poor nutritional supply

2.      Poor waste removal

3.      Acidification by lactic acid
