The " extruded" or " herniated" inner part of the disc may then compress or inflame a nerve root sticking out between two adjacent vertebrae.

The term for bones growing together due to inflammation is ankylosis, and this is where the name ankylosing spondylitis comes from (" Spondyl" refers to the spine and " itis" means inflammation).
