Signs You Have Disc Bulge

If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, it may be time to visit a physical therapist for an evaluation:

• Low back pain or stiffness (especially when you first wake up in the morning or after sitting for long periods)
• Sciatica radiating down one or both legs
• Numbness and tingling sensation in your arms, hands, and legs
• Loss of range of motion in the affected area
• Pain that worsens when standing up or bending forward.

Physical Treatments to Treat Disc Bulge

• Soft Tissue Therapy – This includes techniques such as massage, trigger point release, and myofascial release. These treatments help reduce muscle tension and improve circulation.
• Stretching Exercises – Stretching exercises can be used to reduce pain and improve the range of motion in the affected area.
• Strengthening Exercises – Strengthening exercises are important for maintaining stability and proper form when performing activities like lifting, bending or twisting.
• Postural Corrections– It is important to assess posture for any abnormalities prior to beginning your treatment plan. Postural corrections may include improving the alignment of the spine or strengthening core muscles that support the spine.
• Manual Joint Mobilization– This technique helps improve joint movement and can reduce pain.
• Ultrasound – Ultrasound therapy uses sound waves to help increase blood flow, decrease inflammation, and reduce muscle tension.
