Understanding Disc Bulge and How Physiotherapy Can Help

A disc bulge, often referred to as a herniated disc or slipped disc, is a common condition that can cause significant pain and discomfort in the spine. The spine consists of a series of vertebrae separated by discs, which act as shock absorbers. These discs are made up of a tough outer layer and a soft inner layer. When the outer layer weakens, the inner gel-like substance may bulge out, pressing against nearby nerves and causing pain, tingling, or numbness. This condition can affect any part of the spine, including the cervical (neck), thoracic (mid-back), and lumbar (lower back) regions.
