Description: Movement of the spine will compress the disc more on the inside of the curve. The distortion will vary with the degree of flexion-extension in the cervical and lumbar regions. The facets in the thoracic spine permit very little flexion, but allow rotation where the centre of radius of the planes of the facets is near the centre of the trunk. This presumably makes protrusions less predictable.
