Chiropractic Care for Disc Bulge | Your Chiro

A disc bulge, also known as a herniated or slipped disc, can cause significant discomfort and limit your daily activities. At Your Chiro, we provide safe, effective chiropractic care to address the symptoms of a disc bulge, helping you regain mobility and improve your spinal health.

What is a Disc Bulge?

Your spine is made up of vertebrae cushioned by soft, gel-like discs that act as shock absorbers. A disc bulge occurs when one of these discs is compressed or damaged, causing it to protrude beyond its normal boundary. This can irritate nearby nerves and result in symptoms such as:

• Localised or radiating pain (often in the back, neck, arms, or legs)
• Numbness or tingling
• Muscle weakness
• Difficulty with movement or prolonged sitting

Disc bulges can result from injury, poor posture, repetitive strain, or degenerative changes due to ageing.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help

At Your Chiro, we take a non-invasive approach to managing disc bulges. Chiropractic care focuses on relieving pressure on the affected disc and surrounding nerves, promoting healing and restoring proper spinal function.

Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Disc Bulges:

• Pain Relief: Gentle adjustments help reduce pressure on the nerves, alleviating pain.
• Improved Mobility: Realigning the spine restores flexibility and ease of movement.
• Non-Invasive Treatment: Chiropractic care offers a natural alternative to surgery or medication.
• Support for Healing: Targeted care improves blood flow and promotes the body’s natural healing processes.
