Bulging Disc Management

Bulging discs, also known as disc protrusion, are very common and people often develop them without realizing it. A bulging disc usually arises with no symptoms, however, they can cause discomfort and disability in various parts of the body, especially if the disc compresses an adjacent nerve root or the spinal cord. Following the diagnosis of a bulging disc, Dr. James Huggins, Jr. of Carolina Chiropractic Center will recommend treatments designed to alleviate symptoms.  

A bulging disc results in a spinal disc compressing against an adjacent nerve root. There are different severities of a bulging disc, some that are more problematic than others. To manage pain for a bulging disc, Dr. James Huggins, Jr. may suggest spinal adjustments, a physical therapy program, or electrical muscle stimulation. These treatment methods will help improve flexibility, decrease pain, and reduce inflammation.
