Resolve the Root Cause of Herniated and Bulging Discs Without Surgery
Spinal discs act as shock absorbers between your spinal bones. When repetitive stress, poor posture, or sudden impacts cause a disc to bulge, herniate, or rupture, the inner gel material pushes outward. This gel can compress nearby spinal nerves, triggering severe lower back pain, shooting leg pain, or numbness. At New Roots Chiropractic, we specialize in non-surgical disc injury care designed to take pressure off your nerves and encourage natural tissue healing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a bulging disc and a herniated disc?
A bulging disc occurs when the tough outer wall stretches but contains the inner gel. A herniated disc means the outer wall has torn, allowing the inner gel to escape and directly irritate nearby nerves.
Can a damaged spinal disc fully heal on its own?
Discs have a very limited direct blood supply, which makes natural healing slow. Targeted chiropractic decompression is essential to draw fresh fluid and nutrients into the disc to accelerate repair.
