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.
This creates a concentrated source of pressure on a particular portion of nerves. A bulging disc is the protrusion of a large section of intervertebral disc, and is not the result of a complete annular tear. In an MRI, a bulging disc will appear âsquashedâ between two vertebrae, similar to a hamburger patty that is too large for the bun. Another common term for this condition is a âslippedâ disc.
