Understanding Disc Injuries:
Bulging, Protruding, and Herniated Discs

Disc injuries can range from mild to debilitating and can have a serious impact on all areas of your life.

Your spinal discs act as “cushions” between your spinal bones (vertebrae). They are made up of a tough outer ring and a soft, jelly-like center, allowing flexibility, absorbing shock, and protecting spinal nerves. When a disc injury occurs—such as a bulging disc, protruding disc, or disc herniation (“slipped disc”)—its function is compromised. This can lead to significant pain and nerve issues like sciatica down the leg.

Tuve un accidente de tránsito. Durante años nunca me trate lo que me ocasionó un dolor que con el tiempo se volvió insoportable, a tal extremo que termine postrado en mi cama sin poder moverme y sin saber la razon de mi dolor. Gracias a Dios conocí este lugar. Me ayudaron me diagnosticaron y a las 3 semanas tuve una mejoría muy notable y pude volver a mis actividades cotidianas. Aunque todavía no me he recuperado al 100% ya puedo seguir trabajando con normalidad. Hay un dicho que la salud no tiene precio pero este lugar tiene precios muy accesibles e incluso programas de pago SOLO ME QUEDA DECIR GRACIAS

I worked with Dr. Rolón and couldn’t be more pleased with the results! I came in with an extremely painful pinched nerve in my neck that radiated down my arm into my hand, and within weeks the pain had subsided. After my pre-planned 12 week program, I no longer had tingling in my hand at all and I now come in every other week. I always look forward to my appointments. The staff are SUPER friendly and accommodating. I would give 10 stars if I could! Highly recommend!

I have struggled with sciatic pain for years and only recently decided to see a chiropractor about the issue. I ended up at Mahoney family chiropractic because of the excellent reviews - & I’m happy I did! The results were incredible as I am currently pain-free for the first time in years. If you’re on the fence, go for it! Also, Everyone who works at the office is super friendly and they even have coffee and snacks… no brainer!

Your Questions, Answered.

What causes a disc herniation or bulge?

A disc herniation or bulge happens when there is an injury to the thick outer layer of cartilage surrounding your spinal disc, which allows the soft inner material to push out. A disc injury can happen suddenly, often when bending forward and lifting, or it can be the result of repetitive stresses and wear-and-tear over time.

Is chiropractic treatment effective for disc herniations or bulges?

Yes! Chiropractic care is widely recognized as an effective, non-surgical treatment option for disc herniations and bulges. Our approach combines targeted spinal adjustments and spinal decompression therapy, which work to gently relieve pressure on the damaged disc and surrounding nerves to relieve pain, reduce inflammation and allow your disc to heal naturally.

Is chiropractic care safe for disc herniations and bulges?

Yes! Chiropractic care is a safe, non-invasive treatment for disc herniations and bulges

when performed by board-certified doctors.
