PLID (Prolapse Lumbar Intervertebral Disc)

PLID also known as a slipped disc, is one of the most common, lumbar vertebral column diseases of people leading to back pain, low back pain, sciatica, radicular pain, and subsequently neurological deficit due to nerve root compression that leads to radiating pain up to whole lower limb.

Falling from a significant height and landing on your buttocks. This can transmit significant force across the spine. If the force is strong enough, either a vertebra (bone) can fracture, or an intervertebral disc can rupture.

Bending forwards places substantial stress on the intervertebral discs. If you bend and attempt to lift an object which is too heavy, this force may cause a disc to rupture
