Sustaining back injury from a severe fall
A severe fall can cause a lot of injuries both internally and externally. It could also lead to a broken or weakened spine. If you think your fall affected your back or neck immediately contact your doctor.
Torsion of disc from repetitive work with a lot of bending, twisting or lifting
Repetitive work or constantly making a movement such as bending, lifting or twisting can cause torsion of the disc.
Sitting, standing, driving or working for long periods of time
Maintaining a position or posture for an extended period can cause bulging discs. It doesn’t matter if it is a comfortable position, whether it is sitting, standing, lying, or driving. If your work requires that you sit or maintain a position for a long period, you can take breaks to take a walk or change position.
