How does the disc get slipped?

As we all know, the spinal cord is made up of several small bones or vertebrates which are stacked one over each other from top to bottom. These bones are cushioned by different discs which protect the bones by absorbing shock from day to day activities like walking, lifting, twisting etc. Each of these discs has two parts, one is soft inner protection and the outer one is the hard one. Any kind of sharp twist or jark can cause the inner layer of the disc to protrude through the outer ring and this condition is generally termed a slipped disc.

Symptoms of slip disc

● When your disk slips then it will cause severe discomfort and extreme pain in the back and lower back region.
● You may experience severe pain and numbness on one side of the body.
● The pain may extend to your arms or legs.
● At night or with certain movements the intensity of pain becomes very high.
● When you keep on standing or sitting for a longer duration then you may experience intense pain.
● You would not be able to walk short distances.
● Muscle weakness.
● Tingling, aching, or burning sensations.

Causes of slip disc

When the outer ring of your disc becomes weak or torn then the inner soft ligaments get slipped out of the disc. It can happen due to age due to any extreme stunts, injury or lifting heavy objects with a jerk. If you are a weightlifter or doing such a job which involves constant lifting of heavyweights then the risk of slipping disc increases. If you are overweight then also the risk of the disc increases.
