“Michigan chiropractors dutifully pored over dozens of candidates’ X-rays to find the girl with the best intervertebral fibro-cartilages.”

For a good part of the last year, I had to request wheelchair assistance when going through airports because of a herniated intervertebral disc.

A similar metamorphosis is of frequent occurrence in the intervertebral disks and in the destruction of cartilage in acute and chronic inflammations of the joints.
