• This problem is very common new-a-days all over the world irrespectable of age and sex.

  In this problem (PIVD), the intervertebral disc. (as name suggests) gets dislocated or prolapsed causing severe pain in the back  and surrounding areas. Mostly Lumber-Sacral regions of the spine (lower back) gets this  problem. In this case, some times patient even not in position to stand, sit or walk properly or even take proper bed rest.

• Causes :- of PIVD

  PIVD or most of time problems (not calling discase) related to spine, are due to life style or postural problem. More sitting, driving, bending, More table working (on computer) standing, Travelling (excess) and some times due to sudden falling, pushing, pulling or jerk or some cases in accident are most of major causes of PIVD. Some athletes and other sports persons also face this problem (Cricket, Hockey, Golfers, Tennis Players, Weight Lifters etc.)

  Why this lumber sacral region has become so sensitive now a days in the whole world.

  Lack of proper exercise I am using proper exercise. Layman mostly do not do exercise at all. Some of them do only running and Gym exercise. At the ground (Standing and bending exercise). But all this running  and Gym exercise  do not strength One’s lumber region of spine, instead  by more bending it harms the spine regularly. It is observed  in our routine life that all the work we do with some of the bending. In one experience, we observed that bending forward more, it weakens our Spine (Sitting, Standing, Walking Twisting, Lifting any Weight) lower back gets involved all the time, all these activities putting more weight and pressure on the lower back all the time, by this,  the gap between the two vertebrae get shortend and the disc located in between every two vertebrae gets some compression and the nerve supplying from the spinal cord to the various adjacent parts/ Organs. When this gets more pressure of the disc, causing complication on that and this also weakens the adj. muscles tissues, ligaments. All structural problem (One can not stand erect some times to avert that pain. Some starts having the tendency to bend towards one side, this spine tilted towards one side.
