What Worsens A Bulging Disc?

The biggest things that make a bulging disc worse are poor posture, sitting too long, bending and twisting incorrectly, and ignoring core weakness. Each of these increases the pressure inside the disc and can push it further outward. In my office, we focus on identifying the everyday habits that aggravate your spine, even something as simple as sleeping in the wrong position or sitting with a rounded back can prevent healing. Once we address those small details and combine them with decompression or adjustments, the results come quickly. Your spine heals best when it’s moving properly and supported by strong core muscles. That’s why we pair chiropractic adjustments with stretching, strengthening, and posture training. The goal isn’t just to feel better, it’s to keep the problem from coming back.
