no they aren't impaired
This sounds almost like a trick question from a diagnostic standpoint.
If the fibrous disc material, called the annulus fibrosus, that is located between two spinal bones, called vertebrae, are normal and healthy then there is little reason to think that the disc tissue it self could compromise or impair the nearby spinal cord or roots of the spinal nerves. Meaning that if the disc tissue is normal and healthy then by itself it would not likely pose a problem to the nearby nerve tissue.
However, there is more that could potentially harm or impair the spinal cord or nerve roots than just the spinal disc.
A few things that might pose a risk to the spinal cord and nerve roots other than a bulged or herniated disc:
- Spinal stenosis
- Spinal Arthritis
- Spinal dysarticulation or subluxation
- Spinal fracture
- Spinal trauma
- Facet hypertrophy
- Muscle spasm
- Congenital anamoly
