- A bulging disc in the spinal column can be the result of a back or neck injury. Although not as common as a bulging disc that develops due to age-related degeneration, a bulging disc triggered by some form of trauma such as a car accident or whiplash can be just as painful.

Lumbar Herniated Disc A herniated disc may be caused by: 1  Wear and tear of the disc. As you age, your discs dry out and aren't as flexible. 2  Injury to the spine. This may cause tiny tears or cracks in the hard outer layer of the disc.

Disc Protrusion Symptoms and Treatment A disc protrusion or bulge can occur anywhere along the length of the spinal column from the neck to the lower back. The condition may arise in the neck (cervical spine), back of chest (thoracic spine) or lower back (lumbar spine).n reality, this is a ‘catch-all’ term for a range of medical problems that relate to the ‘discs’ of soft tissue which separate the vertebrae in the spinal column. In medical terms you may be suffering from either a disc bulge (protrusion) or a ruptured disc (disc extrusion or sequestrum).

Supplements for Bulging or Deteriorating Disks Overview. 1  Bulging and deterioration of spinal disks can occur with or without pain, and can result from long durations of small, accumulated stresses, or a single, high-force stress like lifting a heavy box with poor body mechanics, notes Dr. Karim Khan, author of Clinical Sports Medicine..

- A bulging disc occurs more often as we age or as repetitive activities weaken the the disc. Herniated discs are more often specifically related to trauma/injury sustained and are more acute (sudden) in onset.

Bulging Disc A bulging disc injury is a common spine injury sustained to your spine's intervertebral disc. It can occur in your lumbar spine (lower back), thoracic spine (upper and mid-back) or your cervical spine (neck). A bulging disc can commonly be referred to as a slipped disc or a protruding disc. However, when the disc bulge is significant enough for the disc nucleus to the annulus it is known as a herniated disc. See diagram.

Slipped Disc, Bad Back, and Muscle Spasms in Dogs Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) in Dogs . Intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) is a condition where the cushioning discs between the vertebrae of the spinal column either bulge or burst (herniate) into the spinal cord space. These discs then press on the nerves running through the spinal cord causing pain, nerve damage, and even paralysis.

Bulging Disc When a bulging disc, disc herniation or disc rupture occurs, it is typically due to either: 1  a pre-existing weakness in the annulus, or. 2  a sudden increase in pressure through the disc causing fibres of the annulus to tear.

- Bulging disc repair. By Michael Perry, M.D. A bulging disc can occur when the spine becomes severely compressed under the weight of the body and the pressure of continual movements, which can cause a disc to flatten and expand under the compression.

Bulging Disc A bulging disc may be a precursor to a herniated disc, or one which has partially or completely broken through the outer wall of the intervertebral disc. When a disc herniates, the contents may compress the spinal cord or the spinal nerve roots.

- A bulging or herniated disk occurs when the outer covering of the cartilage between the spinal vertebrae tears. Consequently, the jelly-like nucleus inside the disk gets pushed to the weaker side and causes the disk to bulge and put pressure on spinal nerves.

- This is what is commonly known as a herniated disc. (Also called a slipped disc, bulging disc, disc protrusion, etc.). Not all herniated discs cause pain or discomfort. It is when the bulge puts pressure on the exiting spinal nerve that pain, or an inflammatory reaction, will occur. It is therefore very important to have a full understanding of what is causing the pain.

- A bulging disc can also be known as a bulging annulus, disc bulge or a ballooning disc. This is a circumferential, symmetric bulge of the annular fibers. Disc bulges can occur as part of the natural aging process.

What is a Bulging Disk? A bulging disk is a condition related to the spine, usually the lumbar, or lower back, that occurs when a disk bulges through a crevice in the spine. Disks are the soft, gelatinous material that cushions the vertebrae of the spine.

Diseases and Problems We Treat They are not cause for panic. As the disc bulges out between the vertebrae and presses on a nerve, you will experience symptoms in whatever part of your body the affected nerve serves. The symptoms of a bulging disc include pain, numbness, and muscle weakness. Depending on which nerves are affected, a herniated disc can include pain that feels like it is coming from another part of your body, such as your heart, abdomen, or kidneys. Bulging discs sometimes press against your spinal cord.

- When a disc in the spine is traumatized by any injury to the neck or back, the disc becomes weakened and can bulge or protrude into the spinal canal. The bulge can occur in the neck (known as a cervical bulging disc), mid-back (thoracic bulging disc) or lower back (lumbar bulging disc). When a disc has a significant protrusion, it can compress a nearby nerve root, which can cause pain at the location of the bulging disc injury along the spine.

L4/L5 Disc Bulge or Disc Herniation Symptoms According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 90 percent of disc herniations occur between the fourth and fifth (L4/L5) lumbar (lower back) vertebrae. An L4/L5 disc herniation can cause significant symptoms in the back, leg and foot.

Degenerative Disc Disease and Auto Accidents Auto Accidents and Degenerative Disc. Injuries caused by an auto accident are one of the causes of herniated discs which could start the process of disc degeneration. Soft tissue damage must be properly assessed, which is beyond the scope of an emergency room diagnosis.

Herniated disc injuries one risk after car accidents Herniated disc injuries one risk after car accidents. In the hours or days immediately following a serious car accident, it can be difficult to get a proper understanding of the injuries you may have suffered. Indeed, in some cases, those who have been hurt in a car accident suffer soft tissue injuries, which do not show up in initial x-ray exams.

Lumbar Herniated Disc - Cause Lumbar Herniated Disc - Cause. Wear and tear, also called disc degeneration, is the usual cause of a herniated disc . As we age, the discs in our back lose some of the fluid that helps them stay flexible. The outer layer of the discs can form tiny tears or cracks. The thick gel inside the disc may be forced out through those cracks and cause the disc to bulge or break open. This can also happen when you injure your back.

What is a Bulging Disc? What is a Bulging Disc? Discs situated between the spinal vertebrae absorb shock and facilitate movement. Bulging discs, which typically surface in the lower back, occur when a weakened or deteriorated disc swells through a crevice in the spine, extending outside of its normal jurisdiction. This condition happens when a disc shifts out of its normal position, usually slowly and over a long period of time.

Bulging Disc Repetitive bending or flexing of the lower back, lifting, and sitting can all weaken the outer layer of the disc, increasing the risk of disc material protruding from the centre.Posture, specifically sitting in a slouched position, is one of the major causes of bulging discs.
