Disc Prolapse

A disc will not slip easily. The inner softer part of the disc bulges out through a weakness in
the outer part of the disc. Another type of prolapsed disc is sometimes called herniated disc.
The bulging disc will press the nearby structures such as a nerve coming from the spinal cord.Some inflammation also develops around the prolapsed part of the disc. Any disc in the spine can prolapse but most of the prolapsed discs occur in the lumbar part of the spine ie. lower back. The size of the prolapse can vary according the condition. So larger the prolapse, the symptoms will be more.

The main cause of a prolapsed disc is caused by severe lower back pain. The disc often presses on a nerve root which leads to pain and other symptoms in a leg. The usual advice is to do normal activities as much as possible. Avoid painkillers and do some ayurvedic massages with medicated oils. Patients who doesn’t want surgery, our Ayurveda treatment in Kottayam, Kerala helps you to get relieve with our Ayurveda treatments.

Causes

The study is not clear why some people develop a prolapsed disc and not others. Some people often do the same job or lift the same sort of objects. This happens mainly because some people may have a weakness in the outer part of the affected disc. There are various things which may trigger the inner softer part of the disc to prolapse out through the weakened outer part of the disc. Sneezing, awkward bending, or heavy lifting in an awkward position may cause some extra pressure on the disc. In people with a weakness in a disc, this may be sufficient to cause a prolapse. Factors that develops the increase in risk is a prolapsed disc include: a job involving lots of lifting, a job involving lots of sitting (especially driving), weight lifting, smoking, obesity, and increasing age .A disc is more likely to develop a weakness with increasing age.
