Treatment
Herniated and Bulging Disc Pain
A herniated or bulging disc can send pain, numbness, or weakness down your arm or leg. We relieve the pressure without surgery.
A herniated or bulging disc happens when a spinal disc pushes out of place and presses on nearby nerves. That can cause back or neck pain along with radiating symptoms into the limbs. Our care is non-surgical and aimed at relieving that pressure.
Your exam identifies the affected level and what it is irritating. Care often centers on spinal decompression, which gently creates space between the vertebrae, paired with supporting therapies and movement work to stabilize the area.
Taking pressure off the nerve can ease pain and radiating symptoms and help the disc recover, often without the need for surgery. Dr. Sarah Scharf builds a structured plan and is honest about what your specific disc is likely to need.
