Slipped Disc Causes
WHAT CAUSES 'SLIPPED DISC'?
Herniated discs may be caused by wear and tear on the spinal column. Other times the herniated disc may be caused by a specific event like a car accident or lifting a very heavy object. This will be immediately followed by severe pain down the leg and back.
Other causes are:
·
Congenital
weakness in the spine
·
A
sudden "twisting" movement of the back
·
Smoking:
weakens the cartilage disc
· Poor muscles condition
Other factors to consider:
·
Any
infection or inflammation within the body may manifest itself as back pain (eg.
fever and fever related illness)
·
Pain
originating from the abdomen or pelvis may refer to the low back (eg. colitis,
a sagging large bowel, prostate and urethral diseases, ovary and uterus
problems), all or any of them may trigger pain in the back

and indirect injury from other causes: Sacro-iliac pain is that pain usually
found on one side of the low back and extending down the sciatic nerve into the
