Disc Bulge, Herniated Disc, Disc Extrusion – What’s the Difference?

Spinal Intervertebral Discs can become Injured, Diseased and Degenerated. Over time, significant disc injury can lead to a Disc Bulge, develop into a tear called a Disc Herniation or the inner jelly-like material of the disc can leak out become a Disc Extrusion. The gelatinous center of the disc can also dry out which is often called Degenerative Disc Disease. All forms of disc damage, injury and disease can eventually compress the nerves exiting the spine (“Pinched Nerve”) which can cause numbness, tingling, burning or sharp pain that radiates into the arms or legs. Sciatica is the term often used to describe sharp, shooting pain down the back of the legs.

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy using the DRX9000 is the most effective and safest treatment for the majority of spinal disc conditions.
