WHAT IS A SLIPPED DISC?
It happens when your disc's outer ring weakens or tears, allowing the inner part to slide out. The vertebrae are a group of bones that are piled on top of one another to form your spinal column. The inter-vertebral discs are little pads that sit between your vertebrae. They are composed of a soft, gel-like center and a strong outer ring. As you move, walk, lift, twist, and bend during the day, these serve as cushions to prevent the bones from contacting one another. The soft inner part of the disc may poke through the outer ring due to weakness, damage, or even aging. This condition is referred to as a prolapsed, herniated, or slipped disc.
CAUSES OF SLIPPED DISC
✓ Your risk of a slipped disc increases as you age because your discs start to lose part of their protecting water content
✓ A specific repeated motion
✓ Twisting or turning to raise something
✓ Lifting a huge, heavy object
✓ A slipped disc may arise because of weak muscles and sedentary lifestyles or being overweight
