How Long Does It Take For A Bulging Disc To Go Back To Normal?

With proper chiropractic and decompression care, a bulging disc can often return to normal in 8 to 16 weeks. Healing speed depends on the size of the bulge, your age, and your overall spine health. The key is relieving pressure and supporting the disc’s natural rehydration process. With consistency and the right lifestyle changes, most people regain full function and stay pain-free long-term.
