Herniated and Bulging Disc Treatment in Natick, MA

A herniated (or slipped) disc occurs when the soft, gel-like center of a spinal disc pushes against and sometimes leaks through its tougher outer layer. This can lead to pain, numbness, or weakness in the neck, back, or legs, depending on where the disc is located.

At PK Health & Wellness in Natick, MA, we evaluate your symptoms, movement, and health history before recommending a personalized plan for disc-related neck or back pain.

Symptoms of a Herniated or Bulging Disc

Symptoms vary depending on the location and severity of the disc issue, but commonly include localized back or neck pain, pain that radiates into an arm or leg, numbness or tingling, and muscle weakness. A bulging disc that isn't pressing on a nerve may cause little to no pain at all.

The Good News: Most Discs Heal on Their Own

More than 3 million people in the U.S. are diagnosed with a herniated disc each year, and most cases heal on their own within four to six weeks with conservative care. Rest, activity modification, and hands-on therapies are usually tried before more invasive options are considered.
