What Is The Last Stage Of Disc Bulge?

The final stage of a disc bulge is when it progresses to a herniation, meaning the disc’s inner material pushes through the outer layer and irritates the surrounding nerve. This can cause intense pain, tingling, or weakness. But that stage isn’t inevitable. With early chiropractic care, decompression therapy, and lifestyle corrections, most disc issues can be reversed or stabilized before reaching that point. The goal is to restore motion, relieve pressure, and strengthen the surrounding muscles so the disc stays supported and the pain doesn’t come back.
