Disc Injury
Have You Injured A Disc?
Your spinal column is made up of a number of bones (vertebrae), which are protected from shocks during daily actions like walking, twisting, and lifting by discs. The inner component of the discs may herniate or expand through the outer layer due to injury or weakening. The discharge of irritants from this damage or the compression of a neighbouring nerve by a piece of the injury can both cause pain and discomfort. This is referred to as a prolapsed, herniated, or slipped disc.
Disc Injuries
The vertebrae that make up your spinal column are cushioned by discs, which preserve the bones by absorbing shocks from daily activities like walking, twisting, and lifting. A herniation or protrusion of the inner section through the outer layer of the discs is a result of injury or weakening in the discs.
Both the irritating compounds that are discharged from this rip and the compression of a neighbouring nerve by a piece of the tear can cause pain and discomfort. The term “slipped, herniated, or prolapsed disc” refers to this.
Because herniated discs frequently exhibit early signs of deterioration, disc herniation and degenerative disc disease share several characteristics. Numerous causes weaken and weaken the disc, increasing the risk of disc herniation.
Poor disc health can be attributed to lifestyle decisions including smoking, not getting enough exercise, and eating poorly. Additional stresses on the disc include poor posture, normal wear and tear, trauma or injury, and improper lifting or twisting. The disc is more vulnerable to herniation when it is weak and subjected to additional forces.
