A member asked:
I have a bugling disk in my lower back, should i have a doctor or chiropractor treat it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bulging Disks: Bulging Disks have the potential to cause severe pain and potentially serious neurologic problems including paralysis. Depending on the severity of your symptoms and MRI results you may wish to start with a neurosurgeon or orthopedic specialist to be sure you are not at risk for the most severe consequences.
