Bulging Discs
A bulging disc is a common spinal condition that can cause significant pain and discomfort. This occurs when one of the discs in your spine protrudes beyond its normal boundary, putting pressure on nearby nerves. At Southern Coast Pain and Spine Specialists, we offer comprehensive treatment options to help you manage the symptoms of a bulging disc and restore your quality of life.
What Is a Bulging Disc?
The spine is made up of vertebrae cushioned by discs that act as shock absorbers. These discs consist of a tough outer layer and a soft, gel-like interior. When a disc begins to bulge outward but doesn’t rupture, it is known as a bulging disc. This condition often occurs as a result of wear and tear over time or due to injury.
Unlike a herniated disc, where the inner material leaks out, a bulging disc remains intact but protrudes into the spinal canal. While it can occur anywhere along the spine, bulging discs are most common in the lumbar (lower back) and cervical (neck) regions.
