Bulging Disc Spinal Decompression | Los Angeles, CA

Bulging Disc Spinal Decompression | Los Angeles, CA

Can spinal decompression help a bulging disc? For many patients, non-surgical spinal decompression is a first option worth trying before surgery. It’s designed to gently reduce pressure on the affected disc and relieve the nerve irritation causing pain in the lower back or leg.

WHAT IS A BULGING DISC, AND WHY DOES IT CAUSE PAIN?
A bulging disc happens when the outer layer of a spinal disc extends beyond its normal boundary. Unlike a herniated disc, it doesn’t necessarily rupture. Even so, a bulging disc can press on nearby nerves, causing localized back pain or pain that radiates into the leg.

HOW NON-SURGICAL SPINAL DECOMPRESSION WORKS
Los Angeles Spinal Decompression® uses the DRX9000, one of the most researched non-surgical spinal decompression technologies available. It’s FDA-cleared, with 28 clinical studies behind it, including 20 in peer-reviewed journals. Unlike general traction, DRX9000 creates a controlled, gentle stretch that targets pressure on the affected disc.

BULGING DISC VS. HERNIATED DISC
A bulging disc extends beyond its normal boundary without necessarily rupturing. A herniated disc’s outer layer ruptures, and inner material leaks out. Bulging discs often cause more localized pain. Herniated discs often cause more severe nerve-related pain. Many patients try non-surgical decompression first for either, before considering surgery.
