Slipped Disc
Back or low back pain is the fifth most common reason for physician visits. It affects nearly 60-80% of people throughout their lifetime. Some studies revealed that up to 23% of the world’s adults suffer from chronic low back pain. Low back pain is the pain and discomfort localized below the costal margin and above the inferior gluteal folds, with or without leg pain.
Here are some key points about a slipped disc:
-
Cause:
A slipped disc often results from age-related wear and tear on the discs, but it can also be caused by sudden injury or strain.
-
Symptoms:
Common symptoms include localized or radiating pain, weakness, numbness, tingling, and muscle spasms. The symptoms depend on the location of the slipped disc and the nerves affected.
-
Diagnosis:
Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination, a review of medical history, and imaging tests like MRI or CT scans to visualize the spine and identify the location and severity of the disc herniation.
-
Prevention:
Maintaining a healthy weight, practicing good posture, lifting objects with proper technique, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking can help reduce the risk of developing a slipped disc.
