A bulging disc can commonly be referred to as a slipped disc or a protruding disc. However, when the disc bulge is significant enough for the disc nucleus to come out of the annulus, it is known as a herniated disc. This condition occurs when the soft center of a spinal disc pushes through a crack in the tougher exterior casing.

Disc bulge is characterized by pain in the arm, back, foot or leg, stiff neck, muscle weakness, muscle spasms, overactive reflexes and numbness of the leg, foot or hand. Treatment for bulging spinal discs include chiropractic therapy, physical therapy, epidural steroid injection, spinal surgery and prescribed medications.

Medications used to treat disc bulge include Naproxen, Oxycodone-acetaminophen, Amitriptyline, Duloxetine, Gabapentin, Pregabalin and Tramadol. Each prescribed medication contains negative side effects that include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, indigestion, constipation, diarrhea, heart burn, headache, dizziness, bruising, itching, skin rash, swelling, ringing in the ears, appetite or weight changes, breast swelling, sexual problems, fever, viral infection, blurred vision and tremors.

CBD is a non-psychoactive chemical compound derived from the hemp plant known for its potential therapeutic effects. Studies show that CBD may help alleviate symptoms of disc bulge without the negative side effects of prescribed medication. One study showed CBD used to treat disc bulge may help protect against deterioration.

New findings suggest that CBD may have protective effects on the inner cell lining of inter-vertebral discs. A recent study from China showed that the anti‑inflammatory, anti‑oxidative, and anti‑apoptosis properties of cannabidiol may contribute to CBD’s insulating effects on bulging disc cells.
