1. What is Slipped Disc (Herniated Disc)

A slipped disc, also known as a herniated disc or prolapsed intervertebral disc, occurs when the soft inner gel-like material of a spinal disc pushes out through its tougher outer layer. This can compress nearby nerves, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness, usually in the back, neck, or legs.

2. Types of Slipped Disc (Herniated Disc)

• Lumbar Disc Herniation – Occurs in the lower back; the most common type, often causing sciatica.
• Cervical Disc Herniation – In the neck region, causing pain radiating to the shoulders and arms.
• Thoracic Disc Herniation – Rare; occurs in the mid-back region.
• Contained Disc Herniation – Bulging of the disc without rupture.
• Extruded or Sequestered Disc – Disc material leaks out and may press directly on spinal nerves.

3. Causes of Slipped Disc (Herniated Disc)

• Age-Related Wear and Tear (Degenerative Disc Disease).
• Injury or Trauma – Sudden strain, heavy lifting, or accidents.
• Repetitive Stress – Poor posture, prolonged sitting, or overuse.
• Obesity – Extra body weight adding stress on spinal discs.
• Sedentary Lifestyle – Weak back and abdominal muscles.
• Genetic Predisposition – Family history of spinal issues.
