Bulging Disc Care in Austin
Disc bulges are common imaging findings, particularly with age, and not every bulge causes pain. Treatment decisions should be based on the patient’s symptoms and examination rather than the MRI phrase by itself.
Disc Decompression
A bulging disc may be relevant when the location and clinical findings correlate, and other pain generators can coexist. Selected cases may be considered for decompression or chiropractic management after appropriate screening. We reassess function and symptoms so care can be adjusted rather than continued automatically.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a bulging disc the same as a herniation?
They are different imaging descriptions. Both must be interpreted alongside the clinical presentation rather than treated in isolation.
How do you decide on treatment?
After appropriate screening, selected cases may be considered for decompression or chiropractic care, with progress reassessed over time.
