Launch of new article
editThis article is a product of the cooperative efforts of Dematt, a chiropractor, and Fyslee, a physiotherapist.
We felt the need for this article, so we have combined two articles and then developed the article even further. The existing articles that were used were:
- Slipped disc, and
- Lumbar disc herniation
The "slipped disc" article is an article that should have never been more than a redirect, since the very expression is quite misleading. Its very existence as an article served to bolster the impression that the term represented an anatomical reality, rather than a common and misleading layman's term, based on a gross misunderstanding. Consequently this misleading article ended up being the article many proper terms were redirected to, since there was no better article! The need for a replacement was obvious.
For quite some time the "slipped disc" article has been enlarged with much good content, and the "lumbar disc herniation" article also has some good content. By combining them we hope to provide a good article that can replace them and become the proper object of Wikilinks and redirects.
We hope our efforts will be appreciated, and that the article will be positively received and further developed with time. -- Dematt and Fyslee 23:15, 28 August 2006
Research Section:
editIn my opinion, this section should be completely removed. This research applies to disc degeneration, and the article is about "Spinal disc herniation"; these are 2 completely different topics. If this section is deemed relevant, it should be made more clear how it is relevant. It is also only 1 research area, and hardly representative of relevant research as a whole.

Role of Cutibacterium in disc pathology
editI feel the strong association of e.g. a. Vulgaris to disc herniation and perhaps lower back pain in general should be included here, as it has been widely isolated from herniated discs. 501i4n (talk) 18:45, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
