Think of your spine as a canal made up of vertebrae as well as rubbery discs that are stacked on top of each other. Your spinal cord is a bundle of nerves that runs down the length of your spinal canal.

Problems can occur to your spinal canal due to everyday activity and wear and tear.

Below, Associates in Chiropractic Family Health & Wellness Center goes over the difference between disc bulge and disc herniation to clarify the key differences between the two.

Herniation vs Disc Bulge

While disc herniation is usually brought on by an acute injury, disc bulge is usually brought on by age-related degeneration. Bulging disc usually affects multiple areas/discs while disc herniation normally affects one concentrated region.

Chiropractic Treatment for Disc Bulge and Herniated Disc

Chiropractic treatment has been shown to alleviate pain and discomfort brought on by disc bulge and disc herniation. Instead of opting for surgery or drug intervention, chiropractic treatment offers an all-natural solution to back pain and several additional health conditions.
