Intervertebral discs

The intervertebral discs are the elastic cushions between the vertebrae of the spine. They cushion strains and keep the back mobile. At the Kyborg Institute we additionally read disc problems in soul-related terms, expressly as a personal, worldview-based view.

Our reading

In our reading, disc problems often show an overload of the whole structure: pressure builds up – so the image – over head and shoulders down to the spine, until the person feels inwardly “pressed together”. If they come to rest and feel relieved, the complaints subside in this view. Whoever lastingly carries responsibility or (for instance in retirement) constantly worries can thus unconsciously create pressure for themselves. That is a pictorial suggestion, no claim about causes.

An inner attitude that helps some: I find calm within. I let go. I recover. The world is in order.

What does that mean in practice?

• Disc complaints belong to be clarified by a doctor – best by someone who does not operate prematurely but diagnoses factually.
• Stay in measured movement (gentle turning and stretching exercises) instead of immobilising yourself entirely.
• See to soul-related relief, for instance through autogenic training.
