A member asked:

What are the risks if i do not do anything other than traction 4 bulgng disc s in neck, with numbnss,tingling , some pain in arms and hands, shoulder?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Some risk, likely 0: Generally speaking, if you have bulging discs that correlate with the nerves that are tingling, you could develop permanent nerve damage if the symptoms persist. That is not typical and physical therapy is generally helpful for alleviating these symptoms, along with anti-inflammatories. Muscle weakness or bowel incontinence would be concerning symptoms requiring immediate attention.
