These plates serve as a shock absorber and protects the spine and nerves from the stress of everyday movements, and strenuous work, such as heavy lifting. If a disk bulges, rises out of it between the slices. When a disk herniates, a tear in the annulus allows the jelly-like nucleus to push into the spinal canal.
