What is the cause of lumbar disc herniation?

There are many reasons for lumbar disc herniation. Let me tell you in detail. The human spine is divided into many vertebral segments, which are connected by tendon tissue called fibrous ring, which plays a role in relieving pressure. Generally, due to incorrect sitting posture, the lumbar spine is unevenly stressed under long-term gravity pressure, which leads to the metabolic function of this part being blocked and the nutritional supply of the human body cannot be obtained for a long time. Under this long-term hypoxia and stress, the fiber ring gradually ages, loses its elasticity and toughness, and leads to rupture. Just like an aging rubber band, a little force will break the annulus fibrosus, and then the annulus fibrosus and the nucleus pulposus wrapped in the spine will flow out from the rupture of the annulus fibrosus. This is that the prominent nucleus pulposus compresses the nerve roots around the spine, causing numbness and pain in the lower limbs or inflammation and edema around it. It's called disc herniation. In the treatment, it is mainly to eliminate the prominent nucleus pulposus, improve the metabolism of the body, restore the elasticity and toughness of the fibrous ring, and make the treatment fundamentally radical.
