What Will Make A Bulging Disc Worse?

A bulging disc tends to worsen when it’s under too much pressure, and that usually comes from poor posture, heavy lifting, repetitive bending, or sitting too long. Even inactivity can make it worse because your discs rely on movement for circulation and healing. Stress also plays a role. When your muscles tighten from tension, it increases pressure on the spine and restricts motion. That’s why relaxation and gentle stretching are part of the recovery process. The key is balance, move often, avoid twisting and slouching, and give your spine the support it needs through good alignment and strong core muscles.
