What is so HOT about a disc, a tale of a Herniated Disc

Once upon a time their was a disc. Her name was 4. This disc was a sweet disc she was flexible, agreeable, understanding and best of all she had lots of friends. All of her friends were from different families you have the Cervical family, the Thoracic Family, and at the end of the street you have the Lumbar family which 4 belongs to.
One day Lumbar 4 was walking home from school when she ran into Lumbar 5. They usually walked home from school together but this time things were different. Lumbar 5 was a little irritated today, since he had a bad day at school.
"My teacher doesn't understand me, " he said.
"We are not communicating well, I feel like I talk and talk and I am not being heard."
Lumbar 5 was referring to his teacher, and mentor the Spinal nerve of the Lumbar Segment.
"Today I was trying to communciate with her when she cut me off, without notice. I tried not to create a bulging disc or a herniated disc. No matter how much I try we still lack communication".
"Then out of nowhere she shoots her pointer at the end of the hall and creates Sciatica for all the other discs to see. Next thing you know pain referral happens, acheiness, fatigue, I can barely walk with the weakness that is in the leg and feet. She just kept going and going making my disc hotter and hotter until I LOST it !!"
"Enough was enough, I couldn't allow her to create so much pain, nerve radiation, tingling, burning, and a series of other sensations just because she couldn't control her temper."
"What did you do", L4 asked
"Well that is why I am coming to you, I need your help"
" If I cannot get any relief from the other lumbars I can depend on you, we need to fight back. We need to go out of alignment and create a subluxtion as soon as we are able to so that we can stop her in her tracks "
L4 gulped , " Your talking about a degenerative disc ".
"Yes", If she doesn't stop we are going to have to begin to take matters into our own hands and begin to contract around that nerve, and muscle tissue after all the Lumen is only so big and the two of us shealry cannot fit" !!
"I don't know, L5 that seems rather risky"
" Watch me, she isn't going to do anything to help us, like cut out inflammation, sleep better, eat better, avoid allergic foods, and continue to exercise, we might as well create more trouble!"
Suddenly a hand pressed down on the entire Lumbar family and in a blink of an eye the feud between the Nervous system and the Lumbars ended. A sigh of relief washed over the entire body as the Chiropractor saved the day.
