Chiropractic treatment will usually help with a bulging disc, the first step is an accurate diagnosis. This involves a thorough physical exam and when indicated, advanced imaging by MRI or CT, to confirm the condition & rule out other underlying issues. In most cases, conservative chiropractic care is the definitive treatment for patients suffering from a bulging disc. Severe cases are co-managed or referred to medical specialists.
We use non-invasive techniques such as spinal adjustments along with physiotherapy to alleviate pain, symptoms, and improve mobility. As patients improve, we expand care to include exercises, stretching & ergonomic programs aimed at preventing re-occurrence.
In cases where progress is limited or slower than expected, Swank Chiropractic Sports Medicine offers non-surgical spinal decompression therapy. This technique involves using a sophisticated, computer-controlled table that gently stretches and decompresses the spine, creating negative pressure around the affected disc. This promotes the retraction of the bulging disc material and alleviates pressure on nerves, offering relief to patients who have not responded to manual adjustments.
It is estimated that 95% of bulging discs do not require surgery. Therefore, it simply makes sense to start with conservative care. Importantly, we successfully treat bulging discs without the use of addictive prescription drugs.
