Why Disc Bulges Occurs
In between each vertebra or spine bone, are discs, which act as shock absorbers. The inside of the disc is liquid but the outside is like a tough leather belt. When the muscles that protect your spine, weaken, excess pressure builds up in the discs. In effect this is like bending that belt back and forth with no supporting muscles. Eventually, a crack will appear in the belt, known as an annular tear. The next level of disc injury is when the outer shell of the disc weakens enough to bulge out to one side (disc bulge). Finally, the disc can burst, these cases usually require surgery.
Common Causes of Disc Injuries
Surrounding muscle weakness, bending and twisting through the back to carry a heavy object, repetitive movements of bending and twisting.
The low back gets overloaded when something isn’t doing its job properly, it could be your hip strength where your glutes are not working hard enough or it could be your core. Once we find the cause and strengthen it we see faster results with Disc Injuries.
