Lumbar Herniated Disc Causes Lumbar Herniated Disc Causes. Lumbar herniated disc causes include the possibility of intervertebral bulges which occur due to normal or accelerated spinal degeneration, prolapsed discs which are enacted by traumatic injury and purely idiopathic disc herniations. There are very few cases in which a definitive causative process can be identified as creating a herniated disc.

Introduction Introduction. A slipped disc – known as a prolapsed or herniated disc – occurs when one of the discs that sit between the bones of the spine (the vertebrae) is damaged and presses on the nerves. This can cause back pain and neck pain, as well as symptoms such as numbness, a tingling sensation, or weakness in other areas of the body.

A disk in the lumbar area becomes herniated when it ruptures or thins out, and degenerates to the point that the gel within the disk (the nucleus pulposus) pushes outward.

Take Our Poll: In simple terms, a herniated disc occurs when there is an unequal pressure on the small cussion (the disc) that is located between each two back bones of the spine (the vertebrae). This pressure sometimes causes the jelly-like inner material to erupt out of the disc shell. This material can then touch a spinal nerve, which may cause pain. Two of the most common causes of a herniated disc are wear and tear of the disc (degeneration) as well as spinal injuries. At the same time, research indicates that very often the original underlying cause of a disc herniation is a poor posture which often goes hand in hand with unbalanced muscles.

Disk disease, spinal arthritis, and muscle spasms are the most common diagnoses. Other problems can also cause back pain, however. herniated disk, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, or other abnormalities of vertebrae can all cause pressure on the sciatic nerve. Some cases of sciatica pain may occur when a muscle located deep in the buttocks pinches the sciatic nerve. This muscle is called the piriformis.

Spinal disc herniation Disc herniation can occur in any disc in the spine, but the two most common forms are lumbar disc herniation and cervical disc herniation. The former is the most common, causing lower back pain (lumbago) and often leg pain as well, in which case it is commonly referred to as sciatica. Lumbar disc herniation occurs 15 times more often than cervical (neck) disc herniation, and it is one of the most common causes of lower back pain.
