Bulging Disc

Bulging disc

A bulging disc occurs when the outer layer of a spinal disc extends beyond its normal boundary, usually due to pressure or degeneration. Unlike a herniated disc, a bulging disc doesn’t rupture – but it can still compress nearby nerves and cause pain, numbness, or weakness.

  • Ageing & Wear-and-Tear
    Natural degeneration over time weakens the disc walls, causing them to bulge outward.

  • Spinal Compression from Poor Posture
    Sitting or standing in a slouched position increases pressure on spinal discs.

  • Injury or Strain
    Heavy lifting, incorrect bending, or trauma can lead to disc bulging.

  • Muscle Weakness
    Weak spinal and core muscles shift more pressure onto the discs.

  • Localised back or neck pain

  • Pain radiating to the arms, legs, or buttocks

  • Tingling or numbness in the limbs

  • Muscle weakness or difficulty with coordination

  • Increased discomfort with movement or certain positions
