What you’ll gain:

A clear understanding of disc anatomy and the aging vs. degeneration process

Clinical distinctions between disc bulge, protrusion, extrusion, and herniation

Insight into both medical and conservative treatment strategies

Real-world case studies to apply your knowledge in practice
