Protrusion

Protrusion is the precursor to a herniated disc. It occurs when the outer shell of an intervertebral disc becomes thinner and develops cracks, allowing the soft inner material to start shifting. This results in a bulge extending into the spinal canal. The larger the bulge, the greater the likelihood of irritating or compressing a nearby nerve.

This condition is often a consequence of osteochondrosis and can only be detected when the disc protrusion affects a nerve. The primary symptom is pain, and its intensity depends on the size of the bulge.

However, slowing the progression of protrusions is achievable with the help of specialists in musculoskeletal disorders.
