Causes of Slip disc
External injury or weakness can cause the inner part of the disc to protrude through the outer ring. This is known as a slipped, herniated, or prolapsed disc. This causes severe pain and discomfort. If the slipped disc compresses the spinal nerves, you may also experience pain and numbness along the affected nerve. Most common site of slip disc is a lumbar vertebra.
