A disc bulge occurs when there is some damage to the discs, which are located in between your vertebrae. When this occurs, the jelly-like center of the disc is forced outward and presses against the nerves nearby. Disc bulges are usually extremely painful, but some people suffering from a bulged disc don’t feel anything at all. It’s important to begin treating this condition early, or damage to nerves can become extremely severe. Our chiropractors are able to assess potential disc bulges and herniation and provide chiropractic treatment to prevent worsening of the condition and provide a natural, non-invasive pain relief.

When the spine is out of alignment, it can irritate the nerves causing pain and systematic problems in the entire body. A lot of times when people experience neck pain they want wait and see if the problem will go away on its own.
