Understanding Spinal Bulges
A spinal bulge occurs when a vertebra shifts out of alignment, placing uneven pressure on the intervertebral disc. This causes the disc to distort and bulge outward, pressing on nearby nerves.
Bulges can develop from:
- Twisting or moving awkwardly
- Slips, trips, or falls
- Heavy lifting
- Sometimes with no obvious cause
Spinal bulges are often the first stage of disc problems and may progress to a prolapsed or herniated disc if left untreated. Early intervention is key to preventing more severe damage.
