3. Poor Posture
Several things can make this problem even more likely with time. One is posture.
If you have bad posture, then that means that you are going to be moving incorrectly on a highly regular basis. Maybe you need to hunch over in order to use your computer at work. Doing so will cause an unnatural curvature of the spine, which may place additional pressure on one or more discs, or which may open them up and leave them open to damage. It is very important therefore to speak with your boss about the positioning of your monitor, the type of chair you are using, etc.
Likewise, you may find that your poor posture is more of an issue during regular activity. If you hunch for instance, or if you lean forward, then you can be causing constant friction and pressure to parts of your spine, which can in turn again lead to an eventual bulging disc.
