Why do discs herniate?

[Pattygo]

dshobbies,
I completely agree with you. Not only our young aren`t educated, nobody is educated enough when it comes to maintaining a healthy spine. This is such a wide spread problem, effecting millions of people in the world. It seems to me that the majority of the efforts are spent into finding solutions once the damage has been done, and very little effort in try to understand and prevent why this is happening more and more.
I`m grateful that ADR exists, and that many incredible surgeons are specialized in different technics to fix our problems and make our lives better, but we need more research and studies looking into prevention.
