What results in a cervical slipped disc?
It is not clear why some people get slip discs and others do not. These people are most likely suffering from a weakening of the affected disc’s outer layer.
Awkward bending, sneezing, or heavy lifting in an awkward position are actions that may unexpectedly raise the pressure, and this increased strain on the disc may allow the inner, softer section of the disc to squeeze out through the weaker outer part of the disc.
But many a times there we cannot find the exact precipitating factor causing a herniated disc.
Many a times pain starts spontaneously or during sleep.
Other factors that can increase the chances of having back issues are:
- Obesity
- Strain or injury
- Physical Inactivity
- Smoking
- Poor posture
