2) Herniated Discs
Herniated discs are also a common cause of back pain. This occurs when a disc between the vertebrae bulges or ruptures, putting pressure on the surrounding nerves. There are different forms and severities of herniated discs, and they can affect people of all ages but are more common in older adults.
There are several treatments available for this condition, but surgery is often required if you want a long-lasting solution. The surgeon will replace the damaged disc with a piece of plastic, bone, or other material. Other treatments for a herniated disc may include rest, physical therapy, and medications.
