Natural Solution to Bulging Discs | Chiropractor for Low Back Pain in Newport Beach, CA
Do you suffer from a bulging disc but find yourself confused about what it actually means and how it affects your body? Let’s demystify this condition together. The spine is composed of a series of bones, known as vertebrae, which are cushioned by discs. These discs serve as shock absorbers, allowing for flexibility and movement while also maintaining a safe distance between the bones to protect the nerves that run through the spine.
The Mechanics of a Bulging Disc
A healthy disc effectively keeps the vertebrae separated, ensuring there is ample space for the spinal nerves. However, when a disc sustains injury or undergoes degeneration, it can protrude beyond its intended boundary—this is what’s known as a bulging disc. This protrusion can encroach upon the space reserved for the spinal nerve, leading to compression of the nerve. The result? Pain, discomfort, and potentially, a range of symptoms extending down the arm or leg, depending on the location of the affected disc.
The Need for a Mechanical Solution
What is crucial to understand is that a bulging disc represents a mechanical problem within the spine, necessitating a mechanical solution. Essentially, there are two options: remove the protruding portion of the disc surgically or encourage the disc to retract back into its proper place non-surgically. Other treatments may offer symptomatic relief but do not address the root cause of the issue—the mechanical displacement of the disc.
Non-Surgical Solution: Spinal Decompression
At Genesis Back and Neck in Newport Beach, we specialize in providing a non-surgical solution to this problem through spinal decompression therapy. Utilizing the cutting-edge IDA EX9000, we offer a treatment that is both safe and effective.
