Bulging Disc Therapy Options from Laser Spine Institute
Bulging disc therapy is an excellent way to manage the painful symptoms that often accompany the condition. In fact, most symptoms of a bulging disc can be managed effectively without the need for invasive back or neck surgery. Only in the most extreme cases is the discussion of surgery even warranted. For most people, conservative treatment over several weeks or months sufficiently manages the pain from a bulging disc. Physical therapy, hot compresses, and over-the-counter medication are all treatment methods that may be used.
But before treatments are considered, a person who suspects they are suffering from a bulging disc should visit their doctor to confirm the prognosis, identify the cause, and ensure there are no larger underlying issues. Once a bulging disc is identified, physicians work with their patients to develop a conservative treatment plan to combat the discomfort.
Some of the most common symptoms of a bulging disc include:
- Chronic back or neck pain at the site of the bulging disc
- Pain that radiates along the nerve, including sciatica
- Unexplained muscle weakness and fatigue
- Numbness or a feeling of tingling in the arms or legs
- Diminished motor function
- And more
