Understanding Prolapsed Discs
Intervertebral discs act as cushions between the vertebrae, absorbing shock and allowing smooth movement.
When a disc collapses and loses its shape, it is described as a prolapsed disc. As the disc expands unevenly, it can press on surrounding nerves, triggering pain signals to the brain.
Prolapsed discs are often linked to misaligned vertebrae and may develop from:
- Poor posture or long-term spinal strain
- Lifting or twisting awkwardly
- Previous injuries or disc problems, such as spinal bulges
Left untreated, a prolapsed disc can progress to more severe conditions like a herniated disc, causing even greater nerve compression and discomfort.
