EDISCSCULPTDisc bulges are quite common, with many people developing at least one bulging disc throughout their lives. As you age, the chance that you will develop a disc bulge is higher. The majority of the time, the symptoms of a disc bulge will resolve within several weeks with the use of methods like physical therapy. If you have a bulging disc in the neck, doing cervical disc bulge exercises can help to manage your symptoms directly after their onset, and prevent future flare-ups in the long term.
