The lumbar spine plays a very important role in supporting the
balance and movement of the body while working, walking, lifting,
kneeling, or even sitting. Lumbar disc protrusion is a disorder of
the lumbar spine where one or two discs bulge out of the vertebrae of
the spine. The spine has vertebrae joints that have discs inserted
which are also called cushions.
When the disc or the
cushions bulge out the bundle of spinal nerves in the joints, the
nerves get pinched. The injury to the nerves and the muscles attached
causes the back pain, tingling, numbness, and weakness. If there any
kind of bulging is detected, the doctor confirms lumbar disc
protrusion.
Lumbar disc protrusion has become the
common problem for a majority of the Americans. Mainly, because of
their lifestyles and unhealthy habits. They rarely take care to eat
nutritious food and the bones become weak and fragile. The bones lose
their tensile strength as they age. Secondly, they maintain no
exercise standards and due to lack of physical activity they become
victim of sprains or strains. Then is the problem of sitting and
maintaining body postures.
