If you take an Oreo cookie on press down on the cookie with your fingers the cream will bulge out of the cookie. That’s like a bulging disc. If you squeeze hard enough on the Oreo cookie, the cream will squirt out, that is like herniating your disc.

1.     Age

2.     Sudden violent movements

3.     Work injuries
