đ The answer might surprise you.
Disc bulges are incredibly common â even in people who have no pain at all. In fact, studies show that up to 30% of people in their 20s and as many as 84% of people over 80 have disc bulges without any symptoms.
If your MRI shows a disc bulge, but youâre not experiencing numbness, tingling, or leg pain, that bulge might not actually be causing your discomfort.
At Walker Physical Therapy, we focus on how your body moves, how it feels, and whatâs truly limiting your lifeânot just what shows up on a scan.
