This article is meant to inform you with information on bulging discs and how you can find proper treatment at RH Health & Injury Specialists.

What is a Bulging Disc?

A bulging disc is when your disc is expanding out of your spine. This condition results in nerve irritation or tissue inflammation. A common condition, bulging discs can either show a lack of symptoms or severe pain. Common causes of bulging discs include sports injuries, traumatic incidents or aging of your body and discs. Pressure from the inner area of a disc being expanded to the outer area will often cause a bulging disc.

What Are the Symptoms?

First, your disc will apply pressure to your nerves, 90 percent of the time in your lumbar region, then symptoms will follow. Some instances have been known to produce pain that can spread to the buttocks, hips and even your feet. A bulging disc in the cervical spine can result in pain throughout the neck, arms and hands. In severe cases, a bulging disc can result in lack of mobility.
