Disc bulging recognizes its main cause in the consequences of aging; however, it can also depend on other conditions or circumstances, such as trauma to the spine or repeated lifting of heavy objects in an unhealthy way for the back.
Disc bulging is symptomatic only when the intervertebral disc involved in the crush comes into contact with the nearest spinal nerves. In such circumstances, in fact, there is a phenomenon of nerve compression.
An accurate diagnosis of disc bulging that clarifies the causes is essential for planning the most appropriate treatment, which can be conservative or surgical depending on the severity of the condition.
