What are Herniated and Bulging Discs?
Herniated and bulging discs refer to the displacement of the spinal discs, which can result in pressure on nearby nerves. This often leads to pain, numbness, or weakness in the limbs. Understanding the differences between these conditions is crucial. A herniated disc occurs when the inner gel-like material pushes through the outer layer, while a bulging disc involves the outer layer protruding outward without breaking. Both can cause significant discomfort and disruption in daily life.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
Symptoms of a herniated or bulging disc can vary greatly among individuals. Common indicators include localized pain, radiating discomfort to the extremities, and decreased mobility. At Infinite Health Chiropractic, our thorough assessment process includes a detailed history, physical examination, and diagnostic imaging if necessary. This ensures an accurate diagnosis, allowing for effective treatment planning tailored to your unique needs.
