    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

    What is a slipped disc?

    Diagnosis

    Verified Expert
    One or more of these tests may be recommended by your medical provider.
    Diagnosis involves taking medical history, physical examination to check the back tenderness, and several other tests to check reflexes, muscle strength, waking ability, sensation to light touches, pinpricks and vibration.

    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.

  3. People also ask
    Can a slipped disc cause back pain?
    It’s more common to feel pain from a slipped disc in other parts of the body than the back. A herniated disc in the lower back sometimes causes pain at the site of the actual rupture. But more commonly it causes pain, weakness and numbness in the buttocks, legs or feet. That’s because it’s pressing on the nerve that connects to those areas.
