Bulging Disc Symptoms and Herniation Treatment

Welcome to the Bulging Disc Symptoms and Disc Herniation Treatment episode, where we discuss chronic neck and back pain and its resolution. Our host is Dr. Tony Mork, an endoscopic spine specialist and certified North big surgeon with over 13 years of experience in the field. Today's episode is all about bulging discs and their different protrusions and bulges, so that when you read your MRI report, you have a better understanding of what's going on.

Dr. Mork explains that a bulging disc is a common spinal condition that occurs when the soft cushion between the vertebrae bulges outwards, putting pressure on the surrounding nerves. This can cause a range of symptoms, including:

• Pain in the neck, back, arms, or legs
• Numbness or tingling in the arms, hands, legs, or feet
• Weakness in the arms, hands, legs, or feet
• Difficulty standing or sitting for long periods of time
• Difficulty lifting objects or performing everyday activities

He goes on to explain that there are different types of bulging disc protrusions, including contained and non-contained herniations and sequestered fragments. While the symptoms can vary depending on the severity and location of the bulging disc, it's important to seek medical attention if you're experiencing any of these symptoms.

Dr. Mork also discusses the different treatment options for bulging discs, including physical therapy, pain management, and in some cases, surgery. He emphasizes the importance of seeking treatment early on to prevent further damage to the spine and to improve quality of life.
