3 Loss of Coordination
As mentioned, the vertebral discs exist in order to help pad the vertebrae and prevent them from rubbing against each other. Not only that, but they also help to provide the necessary space for the nerves to run through without becoming irritated.
What’s useful to keep in mind then, is precisely what the role of these nerves is. Nerves don’t just allow us to sense pain and other sensations, they also allow us to send signals to the disparate parts of our body.
If you trapped a nerve then or irritated it in some way, you might find that the signals are interrupted going both ways – and that this can, therefore, leads to poor coordination and difficulty going about your normal tasks.
