Age

Age is a major contributor to Slip disc . Over time, your spinal discs naturally and gradually lose fluid volume; this is known as degenerative disc disease. As the discs wear gradually, microscopic cracks or tears can form on the outer surface, creating an escape route for the gel-like interior.

Trauma

Trauma is the second most common cause of a Slip disc. You can over stress a spinal disc when you twist or lift something heavy. A disc can rupture during high-impact trauma, too, such as a car accident or fall.

You may also be more likely to have a herniated disc if you’re obese, or if other people in your family have had it, as research suggests it can run in families.
