Disc bulges & nerve root compression 🦴
A disc bulge occurs when the intervertebral disc extends beyond its normal boundary and can irritate or compress a nerve root.
This may lead to:
▪️ Lumbar back pain
▪️ Leg pain (radiculopathy / sciatica)
▪️ Pins & needles or numbness
▪️ Weakness in the leg or foot
A disc bulge does not automatically mean surgery — and many people recover well with the right physiotherapy approach.
At EZARD Physiotherapy, treatment focuses on:
✔️ Reducing nerve irritation
✔️ Improving spinal movement & control
✔️ Progressive, safe loading
✔️ Getting you back to work, training & daily life
If you’ve been told you have a disc bulge and aren’t sure what to do next — we can help.
