• Disc Dehydration
  This is the stage where the outer layer of the disc weakens and the fibres around the disc become loose. This leads to flattening of the disc with loss of height and increase of the diameter. This is called a bulge.
• Disc Prolapse
  This is a condition where the outer layer called the annulus fibrosus cracks and the soft interior of the disc starts protruding through the outer layer. When this happens, the prolapsed part of the disc tends to touch on the adjoining nerves and it is at this point that you start experiencing pain and other associated symptoms.
• Disc Extrusion
  At this point, some part of the protruded nucleus pulposus starts to push out through the outer part of the disc and then gets detached.
• Disc Sequestration
  In this stage, the free fragment of the nucleus pulposus (the innermost part of the disc) manages to get within the spinal canal.

• Ageing
• Smoking
• Obesity
• Physically demanding jobs such as lifting heavy weights

The symptoms are based on the location of the disc affected.

Treatment For Slipped Disc in Contemporary Medicine (Allopathic Treatment)
To relieve the symptoms of this problem, conventional treatment comprises of using painkillers or traction. These treatments are not always successful and the user might need to undergo invasive procedures like epidural injections to help avoid further complications. If it is not responding to any of these interventions, surgery to the spine to remove the protruding disc, or to increase the space for the emerging nerve with or without fusion of the vertebrae is recommended.
