Herniated & Bulging Discs

The discs between your vertebrae act as cushions for your spine. When a disc bulges or its soft center pushes through the tough outer layer (a herniation), it can press on nearby nerves. This can cause back or neck pain, as well as pain, numbness, tingling or weakness that travels into the arms or legs.

Disc problems can come from lifting, twisting, a fall or a car accident, or develop gradually with age and wear. Many people with a bulging or herniated disc improve with conservative, non-surgical care.

Our Chiropractors Will

• Perform a thorough examination and take X-rays in our office if needed. We can also order an MRI when further imaging is necessary.

• Use gentle adjustments and therapies such as heat, ice, electrical muscle stimulation and massage to relieve pressure and pain.

• Prescribe exercises and stretches and discuss posture and lifting habits to protect your spine and help prevent flare-ups.
