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.

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.
