Your spinal discs are made up of several layers, which includes an outer layer (the fibrous ring) and a jelly-like internal core (the central pulp).
If one of your discs is damaged, the soft inside layer can break open and start to bulge out of the outer layer of the disc. This is what is referred to as a bulging or herniated disc, and are common in the lower vertebrae.
If you think you’re experiencing pain or other symptoms as a result of bulging discs, make an appointment with us at Southern Laser Spine to determine the best way to treat your condition.
