Answers before you ask
Common Questions About Conservative Disc Injury Care
What is the difference between a bulging disc and a herniated disc?
A bulging disc extends outward over a broader area, while a herniated disc involves a more localized displacement of disc material. Either may occur without symptoms. Imaging findings need to be interpreted alongside symptoms and examination findings.
Can a disc injury cause pain, numbness, or tingling in an arm or leg?
Yes. A disc problem may irritate a nearby nerve, causing symptoms into an arm from the neck or into a leg from the lower back. However, other conditions can cause similar symptoms, so an examination is important.
Does every disc injury require an MRI?
No. Many cases can initially be assessed through a history and physical examination. MRI may be appropriate for significant or progressive neurological findings, concerning symptoms, or persistent symptoms when the result would help guide treatment decisions.
When might non-surgical care be considered for a disc injury?
Non-surgical care is often considered when there are no emergency findings or progressive neurological problems. Options depend on symptoms, function, health history, and examination findings. Some cases require specialist assessment, and suitability for any specific treatment must be evaluated individually.
Which symptoms of a possible disc injury require emergency medical care?
Seek emergency care for new difficulty urinating, loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness around the groin or inner thighs, or rapidly worsening leg weakness. New difficulty walking or significant arm or leg weakness also requires urgent assessment.
