Not likely: Disc bulges are commonly seen on MRI of the cervical and lumbar spine. These are usually early signs of minor wear and tear. A "tiny noncompressive disc bulge" is unlikely to be affecting your neck movements. You should work with your doctor to find a solution to your limited range of motion and/or pain.
