Chiropractic Care for Bulging Disc

Get Relief The Natural Drug FREE Way.

Your spinal column is comprised of stacked vertebral bones. In between the vertebrae,

soft cartilage discs are there to cushion them as we move. Each disc has its own tough

outer cartilage that is shaped to fit right between the vertebrae it’s meant to cushion.

When a disc begins to bulge, it may start to lose its shape and protrude beyond where

it’s supposed to be.

What is Bulging Disc?

A bulging disc occurs when a disc in your back swells through the spine or bulges out of its normal location. Bulging discs can be difficult to diagnose because patients don’t always feel pain at the source of the problem. Bulging discs can be especially painful when the disc presses against a nerve in the spine. They can occur anywhere along the spine from the neck down to the lower back. Bulging discs can also put pressure on nearby nerves leading to pain in those affected areas as well.

Many times, people who are experiencing a bulging disc may have had the pain over an

extended period of time and never realized what it is. Here are symptoms to look for:

• Pain or tingling in the neck, shoulders, arms or fingers

• Pain in the upper back that radiates to the chest or stomach

• Muscle spasms

• Shooting pain down only one side of the leg which can affect the sciatic nerve. In

extreme cases, a bulging disc can affect bladder or bowel function and may lead

to paralysis from the waist down. Any of these symptoms require emergency

treatment.

Chiropractic care is a natural, non-invasive treatment that helps many patients feel

better. At Chiropure Spine & Injury, Dr. Keith Davis will look at your entire spine when

you seek treatment. He will look to see if there are issues somewhere else in the spine

that are adding stress to the strained disc.

Dr. Keith will often use adjustment methods to address joint restriction and dysfunction.

This can help to relieve symptoms and help patients get moving again. He also knows

how to safely stretch the spine. This can help to move the disc off the nerve and relieve

some of the pressure and pain from the nerve root and lower inflammation caused by

the bulging disc.

Many people seek chiropractic care because it is a drug-free way to get rid of pain. It

can also help patients to avoid surgery which can lead to a long recovery period.

Chiropractic care can be a positive way to relieve pain caused by a bulging disc.

Frequently Asked Question

How Much Is Each Chiropractic Visit in Tempe, AZ?

We make staying healthy affordable and convenient. Exams can range from $0 - $89.00 on your first visit. Costs may vary depending on your insurance. Wellness Packages are available at an even lower price for patients looking for more financial flexibility.

Are Chiropractors Safe?

Chiropractic care is a non-invasive, drug-free, and highly safe option for patients of all ages and stages of life. In contrast, many traditional medical treatments, including surgeries, experimental therapies, and prescription medications, come with inherent risks. With individualized treatment plans, chiropractic patients benefit from a safer and more focused approach to healing.

How long does a chiropractic visit take?

Grasping each patient’s individual medical history, applying the most suitable treatment techniques, and discussing potential treatment plans can influence the duration of your visit. An initial visit may take up to 30 minutes due to paperwork and the initial examination, but follow-up appointments can be as brief as five to 10 minutes. The severity and duration of your condition may affect the extent of chiropractic care needed, but it's common for patients to drop by the clinic during their lunch break or while running errands.

How often will I need to return?

The frequency of visits is determined by your chiropractor’s professional judgment and will differ from person to person, depending on your condition and overall objectives. The doctor's recommendations will be tailored to your specific needs. Whether you are an older adult aiming to stay active, an athlete requiring dynamic movements, or someone focused on maintaining good posture and mobility, your treatment plan will reflect those goals. Similar to how regular dental visits are crucial for maintaining oral hygiene, routine chiropractic visits are essential for ensuring proper spinal function and overall health.
