    For a lot in as little as 12 weeks the pain will subside, (that still leaves 2-3 months of agony!). Others are not that lucky and will need medication and/or medical/surgical intervention and treatment procedures, operation(s), to correct, alleviate, remove, reposition, bring pain relief.

    There are conventional, standard and older run-of-the-mill, accepted mainstream treatments available. These could include:

    Nerve-end trouble, pinched nerve roots, nerves under pressure
    In between the two discs, in the spaces are not where the trouble spots are. The fluids here, is bulging and applying pressure elsewhere. The spine in a sense if pinched or referred to in medical circles as radicular pain. Sciatica nerves type pain and combined with lower lumbar herniated disc and a pain in the arm, might all be indicative of a certain type of issue, namely cervical herniated disc. Causality, diagnosis and treatment can all follow from these types of examination techniques and diagnostic tools.

    If and where the intervertrebral spaces between the disks are the cause of your trouble and pain, due to wear and tear, the fluid or surplus build-up of lubricating joint jelly-type gel can also cause pressure and undue back aches and pains, especially in the lower back area. (referred to as axial pain) No nerve roots or ends are being pinched in this case.

    What in fact actually leads to, contributes, aggravates or causes a herniated or slipped disc?

    What could be the potential causes of your pains and aches, if you had to guess or self-diagnose?

    Typically this might be considered one of the benefits we received via our evolutionary development as human beings. Evolving into the upright walking beings, our spines and bodies adjusted to the new demands that is placed on our physical design.

    Wear and tear of the discs in the spinal column are all part of the aging process. Our joints, bones and functional spots all deteriorate at an individual pace, no-one will or can escape it. Some just worsen more quickly than others. Lubricating gels in-between our vertebrae break down and ultimately disappear, dry up and cause friction, pressure being exerted where it's not supposed to.

    Flex, bend, move, reach, stretch, we have components working together, coordinated and synergized.

    Other difficulties that eventuate with interverterbral discs, spaces and joints are:

    § Bulging
    § Injuries
    § Leaks
    § Pressure
    § Rips/Rupture
    § Seeping
    § Tears
    … and a lot more.

    Aggravating reasons an be

    § A sudden heavy pressure
    § Any type of unforeseen strain on the lower back
    § Continuously lifting heavy objects incorrectly
    § Gradual onset due to repetitive motion
    § Injuries
    § Prolonged agony!
    § Sport-related injury, over-exertion
    § Squeeze the fluids from within
    § Tension and stress on your lower back from everyday activities and routines
    § Too much exposure to vibrations, shock and on-demand risks
    § Turning or switching direction too difficult and too fast

    Symptoms, diagnosis, relief, pain management follow in quick succession with these types of pain. You cannot deny it. You cannot hide from it. It is a constant companion, irritant and debilitating annoyance, that will not be denied. Intervene and act sooner rather than later, do not hesitate, fear, defer or do nothing. Leaving it up to random chance that it will pass, is the bulk unlikely for most of individuals suffering from slipped discs.

    Still not certainly what is wrong with you or up with your back? Here are THREE more questions to aid you figure out what is amiss:

    § Can you move or walk freely? Jog, run? Do low/high impact exercises without severe pain?
    § Do you call for immediate pain relief, intervention, more permanent, long term solutions?
    § Do you suspect other lingering, underlying conditions that this might be a symptom of?
