Spinal Decompression - Bulging Disc Treatment

in Pain

Bulging discs are commonly seen in the lower back, most often as we advance in age. Pain is not an associated side-effect unless the bulging disc becomes a fully herniated disc and places excessive pressure on a nerve. Spinal decompression has been found by many of those who suffer from extreme back pain to be the ideal solution for painful bulging discs.

Spinal decompression is an advanced form of treatment for spine related ailments, specifically herniated and bulging discs. Physicians recommend non-surgical spinal decompression treatment for bulging discs because of the extraordinary results it has shown, and the added fact that it is a non-invasive, medication and pain free alternative to surgical intervention. Spinal decompression for treatment of bulging discs is a process by which negative pressure is applied to the affected area of the back to reinstate the displaced disc in its rightful position, releasing proximal nerves from excessive pressure, and eliminating the cause of back pain at its source.

A patient simply wraps a belt loosely around their waist and lies on the decompression table, and the machine begins to gently stretch the spine, a process which lasts between 30 and 45 minutes. The treatment is FDA approved, painless, completely safe, and offers no negative side effects.

Shoulder and arm pain is another side effect of a bulging disc in the neck. Similarly, pain may refer to the legs if the bulging disc is in the lower back. If left untreated, serious physical complications may arise as the body compensates for these conditions, and at some point the pain can become more severe. To prevent an injury from becoming a condition, look into spinal decompression, especially in the case of bulging and herniated discs.
