How Did I Get a Herniated Disc?Understanding the causes of a herniated disc is essential for prevention and effective treatment. At Triangle Spinal Decompression in Cary, NC, Dr. Parker Neill and Dr. Abigail Swank specialize in non-surgical spinal decompression therapy to address disc-related issues.
What Leads to a Herniated Disc?
A herniated disc occurs when the soft, gel-like center of a spinal disc pushes through a tear in its tougher exterior, potentially pressing on nearby nerves and causing pain, numbness, or weakness.
Several factors contribute to this condition:
Age-Related Degeneration: Over time, spinal discs naturally lose hydration and elasticity, making them more susceptible to tears and ruptures.
Improper Lifting Techniques: Using your back muscles instead of your legs to lift heavy objects can place excessive strain on the spine, increasing the risk of disc herniation.
Sudden Trauma: Accidents, falls, or direct impacts to the back can cause immediate injury to a disc, leading to herniation.
Genetic Predisposition: A family history of disc problems can make certain individuals more prone to developing herniated discs.
