Annular Tear L4L5 L5S1 Disc Bulges
In this video I shared with you what is Annular Tear is and what is the sign and symptoms and what are the options for management of Annular Tear or annular fissure. I share what you a series of exercises that can help you with pain and mobility.
Your Spinal column has 33 vertebrae and the top three-quarters of which are separated by discs. These discs, 23 in all, serve to cushion and protect the vertebrae; they absorb shock and help to keep weight in the back evenly distributed.
The inside of the disc, the nucleus, is made of a soft, gelatinous fluid, and the outer half is made of tough connective fibers called the annulus fibrosus.
What is An Annular Tear / fissure ?
As we get older, the vertebral discs can start to exhibit wear & tear (normal ageing process) . One of the common changes in the discs could be a tear in the annulus fibrosus. The annular fibers commonly referred to as an annular tear or fissure.

How Common is An Annular Tear ?
Annular tears / fissure are commonly identified in asymptomatic individuals during imaging for other reasons. Estimates for annular tears in adults range from a few percents to upward of 50% depending on the criteria and imaging used to identify an annular tear / fissure. That mean out of 2 people 1 would highly have a chance to have an annular tear without any symptoms.
Treatment / Management
An annular fissure or tear can be symptomatic or asymptomatic. Symptomatic annular fissures can occur with or without intravertebral disc protrusion or herniation.
Asymptomatic Annular Tear
If the annular tear or fissure is identified incidentally, most commonly on MRI imaging, then no treatment is warranted. Such annular fissures may resolve spontaneously over time and are frequently due to the stresses applied to the spine.
Asymptomatic Annular Tear managemnet
It is posited that some asymptomatic annular tears may become symptomatic with time, but there is currently no definitive evidence that the treatment of asymptomatic annular tears provides any benefit or prevents any future issues.
Symptomatic Annular Tear without Disc Protrusion or Herniation
An annular fissure or tear can be symptomatic without disc protrusion or herniation. It is suspected that local inflammatory reactions from the annulus fibrosus tear or fissure lead to irritation of adjacent nerve fibers or traversing nerve roots.
Treatment Options / Non invasive
The treatment for such situations is - non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAIDs). & low-impact physical therapy.
Symptomatic Annular Tear with Disc Protrusion or Herniation
If there is disc protrusion or herniation, it is usually the protruding or herniated disc material itself which causes the clinical symptoms. In such cases, the patient is treated for the disc protrusion or herniation and not the annular fissure or tear.
Diagnostic test for High Intensity Zone
They have cuncluded, when injected during discography, the same percentage of asymptomatic and symptomatic discs with a high-intensity zone were shown to be painful.”
Treatment Options / Non invasive
Treatment options for disc protrusion or herniation including conservative measures of (NSAIDs), physical therapy.
Treatment Options for Annular Tear / Annular Tear Surgury
Recent studies suggest the act of discography on a normal disk in the control group will cause that disk to degenerate at a faster rate.
