Slip Disc

A herniated disc occurs when the outer ring becomes weak or ruptures, allowing the inner part to slip out. That can happen with age. Certain movements can also cause a herniated disc. A disc can slip when it twists or turns to lift an object. Lifting a very large and heavy object can put a lot of pressure on your lower back, which can lead to a herniated disc. If you have a very physically demanding job that involves heavy lifting, you may be at higher risk for herniated discs.
