How spinal discs heal, receive nutrients and what you can do to help this process...

Описание: Spinal discs are one of the most misunderstood structures in the human body — and yet they play a massive role in low back pain, mobility, and long-term spinal health. Unlike most tissues, discs don’t have their own blood supply, which raises an important question:

👉 How do discs get the nutrition they need to heal?

In this full episode of The Soft Tissue OT Podcast, we break down the real science behind disc health, exploring how hydration, diffusion, and cartilage endplates work together to keep your spine functioning at its best.

This episode will help you understand:
🔹 How spinal discs actually receive nutrients
🔹 The role of water content, diffusion, and endplates
🔹 Why your spine feels stiffer in the morning
🔹 How loading & unloading cycles influence disc health
🔹 Practical strategies to support disc healing & spinal longevity

Whether you’re a clinician, OT student, physio, chiro, or someone living with ongoing back pain, this video gives you the clarity you need to understand — and improve — your spine health.
