Abstract
The World Health Organization calls low back pain the single leading cause of disability worldwide, and one that can lead to limitations in activities and erosion of the quality of life [1]
. The pain is often caused by degeneration of one or more shock-absorbing intervertebral discs, each of which is essentially a collagen-and-water cushion, called nucleus pulposus (NP), that lies within a strong, collagen-rich sack, known as the annulus fibrosis.
