Herniated & Bulging Disc Treatment in Youngstown, Boardman & Canfield

A bulging or herniated disc can make even simple movements feel sharp, stiff, or overwhelming. Many patients come to us after weeks — or months — of trying to “wait it out,” only to realize the pain is affecting work, sleep, and everyday life. The positive news? Disc issues often respond extremely well to targeted, non-invasive care when the root cause is identified.

What Is a Bulging or Herniated Disc?

Your spine is made up of vertebrae separated by soft discs that act as cushions. When these discs become strained, they can bulge outward or herniate, allowing inner material to press on nearby nerves. This can create pain in the back, legs, or hips — and in some cases, numbness or weakness.

Common Symptoms

Disc issues can show up differently depending on the location and severity, but common symptoms include:

• Sharp or deep lower back pain
  • Pain radiating into the legs
  • Tingling, numbness, or burning
  • Increased pain when bending or sitting
  • Muscle weakness

  If these symptoms sound familiar, you’re not alone — and effective treatment options are available.

What Causes Disc Problems?

Herniated and bulging discs can come from:

• Repetitive strain
  • Poor posture
  • Lifting injuries
  • Age-related disc changes
  • Sudden twisting or impact
  • Muscle imbalances placing stress on the spine

  Pinpointing the exact cause helps determine the fastest, safest way to relieve pain.
