Different options: The treatment for bulging intervertebral discs and disc tears usually begins with conservative care, which it appears you have tried. If these fail, some treatment options include epidural steroid injections and provocation discography, which is a diagnostic test to determine if the intervertebral disc itself is a source of your pain.
