Slipped disc, also known as a herniated disc or a bulging disc, is a common condition that can cause pain, numbness, and weakness in the back, arms and legs. It occurs when the soft tissue inside a spinal disc pushes out through a tear or weakened area in the disc’s outer layer.
Age-related wear and tear
As we age, the spinal discs lose some of their water content and become less flexible and more prone to tearing.
Trauma
A sudden injury or trauma, such as a fall or car accident, can cause a disc to slip or herniate.
Poor posture and body mechanics
Prolonged sitting, standing, or lifting with poor posture can place excessive stress on the spinal discs and increase the risk of herniation.
Sedentary lifestyle
Our spinal discs absorb water and nutrients mainly from the pumping action during movement. Lack of motion can speed up disc degeneration.
