Have you been diagnosed with a bulging disc and don't know exactly what it means? A bulging disc is one of the most common causes of back pain, and understanding what it is and how to manage it is crucial to improving your quality of life. In this article, we're going to explore in detail what a bulging disc is, its causes, symptoms, and how chiropractic can help you.
A disc bulge occurs when one of the intervertebral discs, which act as shock absorbers between the vertebrae, shifts slightly out of its normal position, putting pressure on nearby nerve structures. Although this shifting does not always cause pain, in some cases it can compress nearby nerves and cause pain in the back or other parts of the body.
It is important to differentiate disc protrusion from disc herniation. In a disc protrusion, the nucleus of the disc (the inner part of the intervertebral disc) is still contained by the outer layer of the disc, whereas in a disc herniation, the nucleus has broken through the outer layer. A disc protrusion is considered less serious, but can progress to a herniation if not managed properly.
Disc protrusion can develop for a number of different reasons, including:
Symptoms of a bulging disc can vary depending on the location of the affected disc and whether it is compressing any nearby nerves. The most common symptoms include:
Diagnosing a disc bulge requires a physical exam and often imaging tests such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT). These tests allow your doctor or chiropractor to assess the extent of the bulge and determine the best approach to relieve pain and prevent complications.
Chiropractic adjustments can help realign the spine and balance the position of the pelvis, which is often the cause of subluxations in the lower back, thoracic, or cervical spine due to misalignment at the base of the spine. By adjusting the pelvis and correcting subluxations, the misalignment is restored, helping to reduce or eliminate pain and discomfort. In addition, swelling and inflammation will be reduced, while strength, flexibility, and mobility in other areas of the body are increased.
A disc bulge can be a painful and limiting condition, but it doesn't have to be permanent. Chiropractic offers a natural, noninvasive approach to improving nervous system function. If you suffer from a disc bulge, consider consulting a chiropractor to explore how this approach can help you regain mobility and improve your quality of life.
We encourage you to take care of yourself from now on, without waiting until you feel sick or have various symptoms.
