17 Nov Battle Your Bulging Disc Pain a Better Way
Bulging disc pain disrupts your lifestyle by limiting your physical capabilities and littering your mind with worries about your condition. If you are currently suffering from back pain due to a bulging disc, you are part of 1-2 percent of our society with the same condition. As you age, your risk for having spinal disc problems will increase due to the natural degeneration of your spinal discs. Overtime, discs become more brittle losing strength, form, elasticity, and lubricating fluid. By enlisting Mile High Spine & Pain Center, we can help you prevent your condition from worsening and help you prevent reoccurrence with targeted treatment and lifestyle alterations. We want to show you the better way for battling your bulging disc pain; a way that doesn’t involve drugs, surgery or invasive procedures.
Know What You Are Dealing With
Before you can receive the treatment you need, you need to understand what you have going on. If you have been diagnosed with a bulging disc, what does that mean for you? A bulging disc results from a tear in the fibers that make a ring around the outside of each spinal disc. Inside this fibrous exterior is a softer interior that cushions the forces your back sustains when walking, running, and standing. This core can be pushed outside through the tear (much like a hernia pressing through a tear in the abdomen muscle wall). The nerves along the inside and outside of the spine are sensitive to the increased pressure and reduced support of a damaged/bulging disc.

When it come to your back, seek out the least invasive treatment methods first. Surgical options can end up causing more harm than good. At Mile High Spine & Pain Center, we spend the time with you during your consultation and exam to discover how best to approach your symptoms and pain. Bulging discs are very common and have been shown to affect around 40 percent of the adult population at one level or another. Many cases are asymptomatic.

Catching a bulging disc before symptoms gives you a better chance at treating it quickly and easily. We offer the following methods for treating this condition without the need for surgery or pharmaceuticals:
- Chiropractic spinal manipulation to release pressure on the affected disc or discs
