The invention relates to an intervertebral disk strain-relief support as an implant between spinous processes of adjacent vertebral bodies, comprising a carrier element having an opening and having first retaining wings, and a central element that has second retaining wings and that can be inserted into the opening of the carrier element. In the implanted state, the retaining wings lie outside on the spinous processes of adjacent vertebral bodies, and the spinous processes can be supported on opposite pressure surfaces on the carrier element and/or on the central element. According to the invention, at least one exposed spring slot, which is oriented transversely to the sagittal direction of extension of the spinal column and which extends over the area between two opposite pressure surfaces, is arranged in at least one of the elements in such a way that a resilient bridge is formed between the spring slot and one of the pressure surfaces of the implant, wherein the resilient bridge is resilient when the spinous processes are loaded.
