I was just diagnosed with protruding disc and i would like to know if it is genetic problem?

Usually traumatic: Although we all vary and have different hereditary susceptibilities to disc injury and degeneration of our vertebrae and disc structures, in most cases, a disc protrusion is due to either acute or chronic trauma, a sort of wear and tear. Some genetic issues, such as ankylosing spondylitis, may also affect the vertebrae. Your physician can assist in specifics.
