What is a 4mm posterior disk protrusion?

A 4mm posterior disk protrusion refers to a condition in which the intervertebral disk has bulged or herniated backward (posteriorly) by 4 millimeters, typically affecting the spinal column. This protrusion can press on nearby nerves or the spinal cord, potentially resulting in pain, numbness, or weakness in the back or limbs.
