Bulging Disc Treatment

Bulging discs are sometimes the result of aging and degenerative wear and tear in the spine.

Several events can also lead to a bulging disc, such as:

• Injury from sudden impact
• A sedentary lifestyle
• Back injury from a severe fall
• Repeated heavy lifting
• Poor posture and body mechanics
• Symptoms of herniated discs include the following and more:
• Pain in the cervical, lumbar, or thoracic regions of the spine that may radiate throughout other areas of the body.
• Muscle spasm, weakness, or overactive reflexes
• Numbness in the legs, hands, feet, or other areas
• Pins and needles sensations
• Uncomfortable tingling and possibly burning sensations.
• Weakness of the arms or legs
• In severe cases disc herniations can cause bladder or bowel dysfunction

If you’re experiencing one or more of these symptoms, it’s time to schedule an appointment. Because a bulging disc is so like a herniated disc, it requires the diagnosis of a board-certified medical professional like me.
