While bed rest may help relieve symptoms of bulging disc, it’s not always the best treatment option. In fact, there are many non-surgical treatments available that can effectively manage bulging disc pain and discomfort. Here are some of the most common bulging disc treatments:
Physical therapy: Exercises and stretches can help strengthen the muscles surrounding the affected disc and reduce pressure on it.
Chiropractic care: Manual adjustments can help realign the spine and relieve pain.
Acupuncture: Fine needles are inserted into specific points on the body to stimulate healing and reduce inflammation.
Class IV laser therapy: Focused light energy is used to promote healing and reduce inflammation in the affected area.
