ageing
poor posture – while sitting, standing and lifting
heavy loads during home or sporting activities. neuro-surgery information.
DISC INJURY
When the forces applied to your back exceed the strength of your discs, minor injuries to the disc can occur. It is important to note these injuries may or may not hurt at the time.
