◽Herniated Disc ◽

Most of the times, when we treat patients with low back pain, the reason is often attributed to a herniated disc. Commonly in the L3 to L5 region.
A disc herniation or prolapse occurs when the nucleus protrudes through the annulus which is the disc wall and goes beyond the intervertebral disc space.
Repetitive spinal flexions, prolonged forward bending is the commonest cause associated with this damage.
Pain and Paraesthesia [numbness and tingling] down the legs is caused by the pinching of the nerve root by the herniated disc.
Common causes of disc herniation-
📌 Repetitive flexion and rotations without
rest.
📌 Prolonged sitting.
📌 Sedentary lifestyle.
📌 Obesity.
📌 Poor posture.
📌 Trauma and connective tissue disorder.

☑️ DO KEEP IN MIND: Herniated disc also occurs with aging. So accepting the aging process and living an active lifestyle is a key to a pain free life. Not all herniated discs causes pain.

Perhaps the most important aspect in treating these patients is patient education.

Have a great spinal health!
