A broad disc bulge refers to a condition in which the intervertebral disc protrudes outward beyond its normal boundary, affecting a wide area of the disc's circumference rather than being localized. This can occur due to degeneration or injury and may compress adjacent nerves or the spinal cord, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness in the surrounding areas. Broad disc bulges are often identified through imaging studies like MRI or CT scans and can vary in severity. Treatment options typically include physical therapy, medication, or, in more severe cases, surgical intervention.
