Abstract

The intervertebral disc is avascular. With aging, endplates become occluded by calcified layers. Diffusion of nutrients and oxygen into the disc diminishes. The disc degenerates, and pain ensues. Traction, hyperbaric chamber, nutritional supplements, vasodilator and/or ultrasound are proposed to enhance uptake of fluid, nutrients and oxygen to replenish sulfated glycosaminoglycans, restore swelling pressure, sustain compressive loads and alleviate back pain.
