A generalized disc bulge refers to a condition where the intervertebral disc, which acts as a cushion between the vertebrae in the spine, extends beyond its normal boundaries in a uniform manner. This bulging can occur due to degeneration or injury and may press against nearby nerves, potentially causing pain, numbness, or weakness in the associated areas. Unlike a herniated disc, where the inner material of the disc protrudes more significantly, a generalized bulge is more symmetrical and affects a broader area of the disc. Treatment often includes physical therapy, pain management, and lifestyle modifications.
