“My scan shows a bulging disc… should I be worried?” 🩻
It’s a question we hear in the clinic, and understandably so!
Seeing terms like disc bulge or disc degeneration on an imaging report can sound concerning. But did you know that disc bulges can also be found in people who experience no back pain at all?
Your scan is only one piece of the puzzle. Your symptoms, movement, medical history and everyday function all play an important role in understanding what’s happening.
The good news? Many people with disc bulges can remain active, and symptoms often improve with appropriate management.
At Stirling Health Professionals, our chiropractors take an individualised approach to assessing musculoskeletal concerns, helping you understand your findings and explore suitable care options.
💬 Have questions about your scan or ongoing back discomfort? Our team is here to help.
