a small protrusion of the disk is caused buy pressure on the spine. speaking to the disk itself if there is a weakened spot in the canula the pressure on that disk is more susceptible to give under the spinal pressure, thus causing it to protrude possibly putting pressure directly on the sciatic nerve.
You might need surgery for focal left foraminal disc protrusion that contacts the exiting left L4 nerve root if the protrusion is affecting your quality of life. This type of surgery is most often accomplished via a very small incision.
Foraminal encroachment refers to that degeneration in the spinal column which causes the obstruction of the foramina.
A right paramedian disc protrusion at C5 - C6 that causes focal complete effacement is often referred to as a herniated disc. It can compress nerves and cause tingling and numbness. Your physician will be able to evaluate how serious the condition is and whether it requires treatment.
What is disc protrusion of the C6-C7 and how serious is it and will it need surgery? Thank you

Spondylosis is pain and degeneration of the spine. A spondylitic protrusion is the disc tissue that has displaced beyond the disc space.
Lumbar disc protrusion is a common spinal disc condition that causes lower back pain and other symptoms throughout a patient's lower body. The lumbar spine (lower back) is susceptible of disc protrusion because it supports most of the body's weight and is extremely flexible.
I've got the same problem but with a right sided protrusion, my osteopath and sports rehab therapist are confident i can stabilise it with yoga, swimming and area specific strengthening exercises! will let you know....
Paracentral disc protrusion is a disorder of the spine that causes neck and back pain. An intervertebral disc is swollen or bulging and is putting pressure on the nerve roots when you are diagnosed with this disorder.
left uncinate hypertrophy and grade i disc protrusion mean spinal canal stenosis
