It's actually the discs in between them.
179
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,480
Spinal discs are like
natural shock absorbers,
180
00:10:50,500 --> 00:10:51,530
and when they're healthy,
181
00:10:51,550 --> 00:10:53,900
they kind of have the
consistency of rubber.
182
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,030
But when they get diseased, they harden,
183
00:10:56,050 --> 00:10:58,470

pushing those vertebrae

We make a small incision,
about the size of a dime.
193
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,090
We go in there and
pull out the bad discs,
194

together with a plate.
