What Will A Doctor Do For A Bulging Disc?

A medical doctor will typically start with conservative care, prescribing anti-inflammatory medications, muscle relaxers, or physical therapy to reduce pain and swelling. In some cases, they might recommend steroid injections for temporary relief. However, those options mainly address symptoms. In chiropractic care, we focus on correcting the cause, the pressure and misalignment that led to the bulge in the first place. By combining decompression, alignment, and corrective exercises, we give your body the tools to heal naturally and prevent future disc problems.
