There are a myriad of treatments that can help a bulging disc. If the disc is asymptomatic, usually stretching/decompressing the spine helps to decrease discal pressure and the bulge will sometimes retract. If the problem has symptoms, usually the best course of action is to decrease inflammation, so ice is recommended. Wrap the ice in a damp towel and put over the are until the area is numb. Take the ice off for 30 minutes and repeat. This can be done continually throughout the day. There are other courses of therapy that involve therapies, such as ultrasound, massage, flexion/distraction (manual decompression using a table), galvanism, and others.
