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. Spinal decompression works by gently stretching the spine, creating negative pressure within the disc, which can encourage the bulging disc material to retract, thereby alleviating nerve compression and the associated symptoms.
