A bulging disc occurs when the soft cushion between your vertebrae starts to protrude, often causing back or neck pain, numbness, or tingling. The good news? With the right approach, most people improve without surgery.

Hereā€™s how healing typically happens:

āœ”ļø Reduced inflammation through rest, ice/heat, and proper movement
āœ”ļø Physical therapy to strengthen and stabilize the spine
āœ”ļø Targeted treatments like injections if needed
āœ”ļø Timeā€”many bulging discs improve within weeks to a few months

While some cases may require more advanced care, many patients find relief with conservative treatments and guidance from a spine specialist.

If youā€™re experiencing ongoing back or neck pain, numbness, or radiating symptoms, donā€™t ignore itā€”getting the right diagnosis is the first step toward relief. Schedule an appointment with one of our experts today!

Patient Experience Review | ā€œSaw Dr. Zanaros for a problem with my thumb on the recommendation of an acquaintance who said he was one of the best for hand or wrist problems. Have to admit I was pleasantly surprised to find out my referrer was right. Dr. Zanaros was pleasant, courteous, and professional. He diagnosed my problem quickly and explained its causes and method of treatment in a way that was understandable and clear. He then did the needed procedure right then and there and said it should solve the problem quickly, make an appointment for 4 weeks in case it persisted, and feel free to cancel if it was not necessary. Within 3 days, I was back to virtually 100% normal activity with my thumb. Cannot say enough to thank and offer my appreciation to him. He is the best in my book too.ā€ ā€“Edward P.

From bone-on-bone pain to walking pain-free in just weeks!

At 78 years old, Alan S. had endured excruciating hip pain for nearly a decadeā€”every step was agony. After an X-ray revealed his left hip was bone-on-bone, he knew it was time for a change.

Dr. Alexander Harbin performed anterior hip replacement surgery at 6:00 a.m., and by 4:00 p.m. that same day, Alan was back home. Within a month, he was walking without a cane. For the first time in years, the pain was gone.
