Our spine plays a significant role in the human movement. It provides support for the head, the shoulder, and the pelvic girdles. Human spine is the protector of the body. Because this provides protection to the central nervous system which is in charge of the function of every single cell, tissue, and organ in the body. Therefore, any disorder in the spine would adversely affect our movement, coordination with the nervous system or outer spinal nerves. Specially the disc problems in lower back can complicate the whole system.
A robust spine together with a healthy nervous system is important in maintaining the whole body health. Any mishap to this may result in severe condition and sometimes, a disc herniation or a extruded disc, which can cause canal stenosis too.
Disc Problems in Lower Back are most common in L3-L4, L4-L5 and the most notorious L5-S1. There are many reasons behind the disc problems in lower back, lets understand these factors…
Lower back, anatomically lumbo-sacral spine is the most vulnerable part of the spine. Because of the nature of the movement as well as structure and shape of the spine. There are certain causes behind problems of L3-L4, L4-L5 and L5-S1 discs.
Muscles of the lower back are always in use, whether we are in a sitting posture, standing, walking. This is only while sleeping we don’t use the lower back muscles. Therefore, these muscles tire. But they don’t get proper relaxation if we are staying in same posture regularly. This soreness and stiffness in muscles of the back, strains the intervertebral spaces and pressure on the spaces leads to the problems of the spinal discs.
Almost 80% of the spinal problems occur because of the bad postures. Once we are sitting, lying down or standing in a wrong posture. These bad postures alter the spinal alignment and this poor alignment leads to the complicated conditions for the spine. This happens through spinal and back muscles.
Diet plays an important role in maintaining the wellness of spine. When ever our diet is imbalanced it leads to the spinal problems according to Ayurveda. If we look at the data, moment we started avoiding proper intake of fats- these all spinal problems are increasing since than. We need to check the relation of the diet and its impact on spinal disease. At Sukhayu, we work on this concept fully.
These are three most common causes behind Disc Problems in Lower Back. There are several others too, but these are avoided by many hospitals thus it was important to discuss these first. The other causes are –
This is an important issue behind the disc problems in lower back. Because age is a truth and we cannot deny this. What we can do is- we can delay the process of ageing so that impact of age won’t disturb the wellness of body. But in today’s era the rat-race is affecting the complete wellness of human beings and this is the reason Disc Problems in Lower Back are on a surge.

When disc dehydrate, the jelly inside the spine starts weakening. This further loss in the disc starts exerting the pressure on the annular ligaments. This is something which starts bothering the lower back muscles. In this condition- the compression on thecal sac develops and causes different neural problems.

When we are able to make a proper diagnosis, than we start the treatment for the condition. There are different treatment modalities as per the requirement and condition of the patient.
At Sukhayu Ayurved, we don’t believe in manual manipulation or jerking the body.
Because we understand the importance of the spine and risk of a spine injury very well.
