• Bulging or herniated discs—Years of poor posture while working, exercising or sleeping can put strain on the spine’s intervertebral discs. This pressure can slowly weaken the disc’s outer membrane, causing the inner nucleus to press out and pinch nerves. A bulging disc can develop for years, unnoticed, when a sneeze, accident, twist or bend suddenly causes enormous pain from a herniated disc.
• Pregnancy—At least half of pregnant women experience pregnancy back pain caused by a shifting center of gravity and loosening of the ligaments as the pregnancy heads towards delivery. Sometimes this back pain can continue, or even start, after the baby is born due to misalignments in the spine.
• Car accident or sports injury—Sudden, traumatic injuries like a car accident injury, a sports injury, or even falling can cause sudden shifts in the spine that pinch nerves, pull muscles, damage discs and strain connective tissues.
