Home » Spine Conditions » Collapsed Disc » Uncommon causes of a collapsed disc
A collapsed disc occurs when one of the spinal discs loses its normal height. The discs serve as shock absorbers for the spine and endure a lot of wear and tear through the years as a result. It is therefore not a surprise that age-related degeneration is the primary cause of this spinal condition. However, there are a number of other collapsed disc causes that you may not be aware of.
Some lifestyle choices that can also be considered collapsed disc causes include:
If conservative collapsed disc treatments, such as pain medications, hot and cold compresses and physical therapy, are ineffective at managing your symptoms, minimally invasive surgery at USA Spine Care may be the next option for you to consider. We offer a free MRI review* to help determine if you are a candidate for one of our outpatient procedures.
