Herniated/Bulging Disc in Fort Collins
A herniated or bulging disc can press on nearby nerves, but decompression can relieve that pressure without surgery.
A herniated or bulging disc happens when a spinal disc pushes out of place and irritates nearby nerves. Spinal decompression can gently relieve that pressure so the disc and nerve can settle, without surgery.
What is herniated / bulging disc?
Discs act as cushions between the bones of your spine. When one bulges or herniates, it can press on a nerve and cause pain locally or down an arm or leg.
Non-surgical spinal decompression gently stretches the spine to reduce pressure on the disc, creating a better environment for healing.
Common symptoms
- Back or neck pain
- Pain, numbness or tingling down an arm or leg
