Herniated Disc (Slipped Disc): A
vertebral compression fracture occurs when the block-like part of an individual bone of the spine (vertebra) become compressed due to trauma. Discs are protective shock-absorbing pads between the bones of the spine (vertebrae).
A crack (not only a break) in the bone is also known as a fracture.
Broken Neck!
