Disc Bulge

What Is a Disc Bulge?

Between each vertebra in your spine is a soft, cushion-like disc that acts as a shock absorber. Over time, due to poor posture, repetitive stress, or injury, a disc can start to bulge outward — putting pressure on nearby nerves.

This pressure can cause:

• Lower back pain
• Sciatica or leg pain
• Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arms or legs
• Neck pain and stiffness

A disc bulge can occur anywhere in the spine but is most common in the lower back (lumbar spine) and neck (cervical spine).

Common Causes of a Disc Bulge

A disc bulge can develop from a single injury or gradual wear and tear. Common causes include:

• Poor posture or prolonged sitting
• Heavy lifting or repetitive motion
• Sports injuries or car accidents
• Degenerative disc disease
• Improper spinal alignment

Identifying the root cause of your disc bulge is essential for lasting recovery — and that’s exactly what we focus on at Liberty Chiropractic Institute.

How Chiropractic and Spinal Decompression Help

Our approach combines advanced diagnostic evaluation with Gonstead-based chiropractic adjustments and spinal decompression therapy.

Spinal decompression is a gentle, computer-controlled treatment that stretches the spine in a precise way, creating negative pressure within the discs. This helps:

• Reduce pressure on compressed nerves
• Retract or reposition the bulging disc material
• Improve circulation and nutrient flow to aid disc healing
• Relieve pain and restore movement

When paired with specific chiropractic adjustments, this therapy helps correct spinal misalignments and promotes proper disc and nerve function — addressing both the cause and symptoms of your pain.
