Herniated and Bulging Disc Care in Greenville, SC

A bulging or herniated disc can cause sharp back or neck pain, or pain, numbness and tingling down an arm or leg. Many disc problems improve with conservative care. At Combs Chiropractic & Wellness we use gentle, disc-friendly techniques to ease pressure and help you move again.

What happens in a disc injury?

Discs sit between your vertebrae like cushions. When the outer layer weakens, the inner material can bulge or push out and irritate a nearby nerve. Common causes include lifting with poor mechanics, long hours sitting, repetitive strain, accidents and age-related wear.

How we assess it

We test reflexes, strength and sensation to see which nerves are affected, and take X-rays to look at alignment and disc spaces. If your symptoms suggest you need an MRI or a specialist, we'll tell you.

How we treat it

• Gentle adjustments chosen to avoid stressing the injured disc

• Spinal traction to take pressure off the disc and nerve

• Core and stabilization exercises

• Guidance on sitting, lifting and sleeping while you heal
