Lumbar Spine Disc Protrusion in the Lower Back or Lumbar Spine

Disc protrusion in the lumbar spine refers to a mild to moderate bulging of the disc that hasn’t broken through the outer layer. While not always symptomatic, it can press on nerves and cause localized lower back pain or radiating symptoms in the legs.

Treatment usually involves conservative methods such as rest, physical therapy, and spinal decompression. Monitoring and posture correction help prevent progression. Disc protrusions are common findings in lumbar MRIs, especially with aging or repetitive stress.
