    Causes

    Verified Expert

    • Herniated disc occur due to gradual wear and tear. The causes include:
    • Aging causes spinal cord to lose their water content, making them less flexible and more prone to a tear or rupture with strain or twist, for eg., lifting heavy objects
    • Trauma such as a blow or fall on the back
    • The risk factors include:
    • Over weight - excess weight puts stress on lower back disks
    • Physically demanding jobs such as pushing, lifting
    • Genetics - Family history may increase the risk

    Diagnosis

    One or more of these tests may be recommended by your medical provider.

    Common tests & procedures

    X-ray: Helps rule out other causes of back pain. Can also indicate degeneration of the spine.

    Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): Confirms location of herniated disk, and can be used to observe the affected nerves.

    CT scan: A dye is injected into the spinal canal and a CT scan is carried out.

    Nerve conduction velocity (NCV): Measure conduction of electrical impulses on the nerve tissues through electromyograms and nerve conduction studies.
