unlikely.
Unfortunately m, a conventional massage won’t cut it. I’ve worked with many disc bulge and disc herniation a over the years, and as a chiropractor, I’ve been trained to detect which direction the bulge is displaced, and then I utilize a specific technique called a disc pump to bring the disc back in place. And on top of that, I prescribe supplemental exercises specific for this condition.
No, the disc is protected deep inside you. The best treatment for a disc is called non surgical spinal decompression therapy. Google it and find a good doctor that specializes in it near you.
Unfortunately no. Spinal decompression, chiropractic adjustments and a good strengthening program are the best options especially when combined.
Hello, No a bulging disc cannot be massaged back into place. You can see a M.D. or a D.C. for evaluation and treatment recommendations.
No, you cannot but stretching your low back and rehab exercises can help.
No But there are things you can do 1. Inversion therapy with a teeter 2. Extension exercises with a Swiss Ball
No, massage can help with muscle pain and spasm, but normally will not be deep enough to affect the disc. Many disc herniations will resolve over time, so massage could help you manage the pain while your body heals. Chiropractic care, and physical therapy both have various techniques that aim to bring back the herniated disc and could be good options for you.
