A member asked:
Can you end up with a herniated disk without a known injury ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Inter-vertebral discs can rupture spontaneously without any obvious cause. Most feel that this is due to an inherent weakness in the capsule of the disc. Some believe that it is an inherited problem.
