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.
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.
