A posteriorly protruding disc refers to a spinal disc that has herniated or bulged backward toward the spinal canal. This condition can compress nearby nerves or the spinal cord, potentially leading to pain, numbness, or weakness in the limbs. It is often associated with conditions like degenerative disc disease or injury. Treatment may include physical therapy, medication, or in severe cases, surgery.
