Key Takeaways
Chiropractic care, including spinal adjustments, can help realign the spine and reduce bulging disc symptoms.
Bathurst Chiropractic offers personalised treatment plans to address your unique back pain needs.
Hi, I’m Dr. Ben Purcell, the lead chiropractor and founder of Bathurst Chiropractic. One of the most common questions I hear from patients walking through my clinic doors is: “Can a chiropractor fix a bulging disc?” The short answer is yes, in many cases, chiropractic care can provide significant relief and even help correct bulging discs. Let me take you through everything you need to know about bulging discs, how chiropractic adjustments can help, and why it’s essential to get the right care.
What Is a Bulging Disc?
When I explain bulging discs to my patients, I like to keep it simple. Imagine the discs in your spine as little jelly-filled cushions. They sit between each vertebra, acting as shock absorbers. A bulging disc happens when the jelly-like centre pushes out against the tough outer layer, often pressing on nerves and causing pain or discomfort.
Symptoms of a Bulging Disc
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, a bulging disc might be the culprit:
- Back pain that worsens when sitting.
- Pain radiating down your leg or arm.
- Muscle weakness or tingling.
- Difficulty standing up straight or moving comfortably.
- Migraines and headaches
How Can a Chiropractor Fix a Bulging Disc?
At Bathurst Chiropractic, I use safe and effective techniques to help realign the spine, reduce pressure on the affected disc, and promote healing. Here’s how I approach bulging discs:
1. Spinal Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments are a key part of the process. By gently realigning your spine, I can reduce the stress on the disc and surrounding nerves. Patients often tell me they feel relief even after the first session.
2. Decompression Therapy
We use cutting-edge spinal decompression techniques to gently stretch the spine, creating space for the disc to move back into place.
3. Tailored Treatment Plans
Every patient is unique. I work closely with you to create a personalised treatment plan that addresses your specific symptoms and lifestyle.

Recovery times vary, but most patients see noticeable improvements after a few sessions. A full recovery may take weeks to months, depending on your condition and adherence to the treatment plan.
