5 Signs You Have A Bulging Disc
Your spine is made up of a variety of vertebrae that have several discs in the middle which act as cushions whenever you jump or cause impact to your spinal column.
If you’re experiencing pain in your back, it’s possible you have a bulging disc in your spinal cord.
Here are five signs you’re experiencing a bulging disc.
1. Sciatic Nerve Pain
Sciatica pain is a painful lower back pain mixed with pain radiating down the leg into the foot.
This pain is difficult to treat, so you’re experiencing this pain you should visit a chiropractor to start your bulging disc treatment.
2. Numbness and Tingling
Tingling and numbness down your back, legs, and arms can be caused by a bulged disc. The disc could be compressing your spinal cord nerve causing severe pain in various areas of your body.
3. Loss of Bladder Control
Although this is not the most common side effect, it does happen due to a bulging disc.

4. Upper Back Pain

You can start your bulging disc treatments by stretching and implementing spinal decompression therapies to relieve upper back pain.
