Estimates indicate that around 30% of adults aged eighteen or older suffer from joint pain.

Knee Pain is a Warning Signal

If you suffer from knee pain, you are not alone. Knee pain prompts more people to pay a visit to the doctor than any other musculoskeletal condition.

Usually only mentioned in connection with back pain, our spinal discs tend to have a bad reputation. While this reputation may to some extent be deserved, it warrants pointing out that our discs - we have 23 of them - give the otherwise rather hard and stiff series of bone blocks (vertebrae) and tight ligaments that make up our spines a remarkable degree of flexibility, and thereby make an essential contribution to our capacity to move about the world the way we do.
In addition to securing basic flexibility, our spinal discs are also capable of distributing and effectively absorbing shearing and shocking forces that are many times greater than our body weight. This is enabled by a simple structure consisting of a gelatinous core (known as the nucleus pulposus) surrounded by a hard ring of fibrocartilage and fibrous tissue (known as the annulus).
