Abstract
The intervertebral disc (IVD) has been implicated in the etiology and pathogenesis of spine pain. Examination and treatment approaches directed at the IVD often cite a biomechanical principle referred to as the dynamic disc model (DDM), which is hypothesised to account for positional changes of the nucleus pulposus (NP). The DDM proposes a predictable pattern of NP migration in response to movements and positioning; consequently, this model has served the basis for many clinical decisions.
