Reduce Your Risk For a Herniated Disc in Fanwood

A herniated disc in Fanwood can be an extremely painful and debilitating injury.

This condition happens when the intervertebral disk located between the vertebras of the spine bulges out, which can place pressure on nearby nerves and cause pain.

The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons lists the following risk factors for developing a herniated disk: lifting objects incorrectly, being a smoker, being overweight, applying sudden pressure to the spine, and repeated straining of the back muscles.
