The Best Exercises for Bulging Disc (From La Cañada Chiropractors)
The best (and safest) exercises for bulging disc, from doctors who treat it every day at Flintridge Family Chiropractic in La Cañada Flintridge.
If you've Googled "best exercises for bulging disc," you've probably seen a dozen conflicting lists. Here's what our doctors actually give patients — and, just as importantly, what we tell them to stop doing.
A bulging disc is a less severe disc issue than a herniation — the disc pushes outward but the outer wall stays intact. Most respond very well to chiropractic care.
Rule #1: Move the Stiff Joints, Stabilize the Loose Ones
Most people with bulging disc intuitively stretch the area that hurts. The problem is that the painful area is often the unstable segment — it's already moving too much. Stretching it more can make things worse. The area you actually need to work on is usually the joint above or below.
