However, a bulging disc occurs when the outside perimeter of the cartilage forms an outpouching that may put pressure on the nearby nerves.<\/p>\n
A bulging disc most commonly creates pressure on nearby nerves that can lead to a variety of symptoms.\u00a0 This could be as mild as tingling and numbness, or be as severe as neck pain, upper back pain, mid-back pain, lower back pain, and sciatica.\u00a0 When the disc has reached this intense stage, it\u2019s most likely close to herniating.<\/p>\n
The discs are like the jelly on the inside of a donut.\u00a0 They act as shock absorbers to cushion the vertebrae and allow for bending and twisting.\u00a0 When the discs are intact, they create the perfect amount of room for the nerves to pass within and remain undisturbed.<\/p>\n
However, the jelly can be pushed out if the vertebrae above or below the disc begin to shift.\u00a0 This shift creates abnormal pressure and stress load on the disc.\u00a0 Over time, this may lead to a bulge, herniation, or protrusion.<\/p>\n
Here is a list of some of the causes in a bulging disc injury:<\/b><\/p>\n Initially, a small bulge may not cause a lot of pain, tingling, or other symptoms.\u00a0 As the bulge increases in size, the pain will likely become more severe.\u00a0 As a Neuro-Structural chiropractor, Dr. Pennetti does not attempt to treat the symptoms of the bulging disc.\u00a0 Instead, he focuses on restoring the normal position of the vertebrae above and below the affected disc.\u00a0 As the normal position starts to return, the disc naturally will be sucked back in to act as a shock absorber.\u00a0 This is the difference between treating the superficial symptoms of a condition like a\u00a0disc injury<\/a>, and addressing the underlying cause to why the pain is there in the first place.<\/p>\n Dr. Matt Pennetti performs this non-invasive, drug-free bulging disc procedure for pain relief, prevention, and ultimate correction of the issue.\u00a0 The first step is to have a consultation with him about your past history to determine if a Neuro-Structural Examination would be warranted.\u00a0 If this is the case, the Neuro-Structural testing will evaluate the health and condition of your spine, as well as to determine how healthy or poor your nervous system is functioning.\u00a0 Both play a role in the levels of pain and discomfort you may be feeling.\u00a0 After determining the location of a bulging disc, along with the core problems in your spine, Dr. Matt will be able to provide a Neuro-Structural Correction.\u00a0 This is a gentle, specific chiropractic adjustment to establish better movement and position for your vertebrae.\u00a0 The goal is to achieve lasting relief and be pain-free while working out, shoveling the snow, landscaping around the house, or working at your desk.<\/p>\n In addition to spinal posture correction, your Centennial chiropractor will coach you on more ergonomic, posture-friendly ways to work, exercise, live and even sleep so that you avoid future disc problems.
