Astrology of Slipped Disc

Sometimes called a slipped or ruptured disc, a herniated disk most often occurs in the lower back. It is one of the most common causes of low back pain, as well as leg pain (sciatica).

Between 60% and 80% of people will experience low back pain at some point in their lives. A high percentage of people will have low back and leg pain caused by a herniated disc.

In many cases, a herniated disc is related to the natural aging of the spine. In children and young adults, disks have high water content. As we get older, our disks begin to dry out and weaken. The discs begin to shrink and the spaces between the vertebrae get narrower. This normal aging process is called disc degeneration. Men between the ages of 30 and 50 are most likely to have a herniated disk. Other than age and gender other risk factors are improper lifting, overweight, spine straining repetitive activities, frequent driving, sedentary lifestyle, smoking. 

Symptoms of the slipped disc are back pain, foot pain, numbness/tingling sensation in the foot, weakness in the leg and sometimes loss of bladder or bowel control. Many people experience no symptoms from a herniated disk, and the majority of people who have herniated disks do not need surgery.
