A member asked:

How does an osteopath fix bulging discs in the neck or back?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

By changing posture: Abulging disc can be reduced by restoring lordosis of the cervical spine and by applying traction to the cervical spine. These can both be achieved with manual therapy and subsequently fortified by strengthening of the posterior neck muscles.
