Herniated & Bulging Disc Treatment in Coral Springs & Parkland

A herniated or bulging disc doesn't have to mean surgery. We relieve the pressure on your nerve and help the disc heal — with non-surgical decompression, chiropractic and therapy built around your spine.

If a herniated or bulging disc is pressing on a nerve, the goal is simple: take the pressure off and let the disc recover. At The Spine and Wellness Center, we've helped Coral Springs and Parkland patients do exactly that — without drugs or surgery — since 2005.

Medically reviewed by Dr. Jared Cohen, DC · Updated June 2026

Between every two vertebrae sits a soft, shock-absorbing disc. When that disc weakens, it can flatten and push outward — a bulge — or tear and leak its inner gel, a true herniation. Either way, the displaced material can crowd a spinal nerve, and that's when the back or neck pain, the burning down a leg or arm, and the numbness or weakness begin. The frustrating part is that an MRI showing a "slipped disc" often comes with one option: wait it out or operate. There's a better path. We find which disc is involved, relieve the pressure on the nerve, and give the disc the conditions it needs to heal on its own.

Common Causes of Herniated & Bulging Discs

  • Lifting something heavy with a rounded, twisting back
  • Years of sitting and poor posture that weaken the disc wall
  • Age-related disc dehydration and degeneration
  • A sudden fall, sports injury or car accident
  • Repetitive bending, twisting or vibration at work
  • Extra body weight adding daily load to the lower spine

How We Treat Herniated & Bulging Discs in Coral Springs & Parkland

Every disc injury is different, so we combine the therapies that take pressure off your nerve into one coordinated, non-surgical plan:

Spinal Decompression

Gently stretches the spine to pull the disc inward and unload the pinched nerve.

Chiropractic Adjustments

Realign the spine to balance the load and ease irritation around the injured disc.

Physical Therapy

Strengthens the core and stabilizing muscles that protect the disc long term.

Cold Laser Therapy

Calms inflammation around the nerve root and speeds healing in deep tissue.

What to Expect at Your First Visit

We start by getting the diagnosis right. We review your history and any imaging you have, then evaluate your spine, posture and nerve function with digital tools like MyoVision and GaitScan to pinpoint which disc is involved and how the nerve is affected. From there, Dr. Cohen explains exactly what's happening in plain language and lays out a step-by-step plan to relieve the pressure and rebuild stability. Many disc patients notice their radiating pain begin to settle within the first few weeks of decompression care.

Herniated Disc FAQ

Questions, Answered

What is the difference between a herniated disc and a bulging disc?
A bulging disc happens when the disc flattens and pushes outward while its outer wall stays intact. A herniated disc is further along — the outer wall tears and the inner gel leaks out, which is more likely to press directly on a nerve. We confirm which one you have before building your plan.
Can a herniated disc heal without surgery?
In most cases, yes. The large majority of herniated and bulging discs respond well to conservative care. Spinal decompression, chiropractic adjustments and targeted therapy take pressure off the nerve and give the disc the room and time it needs to recover — without the risks of surgery.
How does spinal decompression help a herniated disc?
Decompression gently stretches the spine to create negative pressure inside the disc. That draws the herniated material back toward center, eases the pinch on the nerve and pulls in fluid and nutrients that help the disc heal. It is painless and many patients find it relaxing.
Why does my herniated disc cause pain down my leg or arm?
When disc material presses on a spinal nerve root, the pain travels along that nerve's path. A lower-back disc often radiates into the buttock and leg as sciatica, while a neck disc can send pain, numbness or tingling into the shoulder and arm. Relieving the pressure usually calms the radiating symptoms.
Do you treat herniated discs near Parkland and Coconut Creek?
Yes. Our Coral Springs office on Coral Ridge Drive is minutes from Parkland, Coconut Creek and Margate, and we treat disc patients from across South Florida, including Boca Raton and Pompano Beach.
