| How did I herniate my disc? |

 |
| Disc herniations in the lower back often occur with everyday motion of the lower back. People herniate their lumbar discs twisting, bending, and turning often to pick up something heavy or playing sports such as a golf or basketball. The pressures in the disc spaces are extremely high when the spine moves in such ways and lead to disc herniations. Trauma is a rare cause of disc herniations. |
