Bulging Disc Relief in Downtown Lebanon, Lebanon TN
A bulging disc happens when a spinal disc extends beyond its normal boundary without the inner material breaking through, but it can still press on nearby nerves and cause real pain. Left unaddressed, a bulging disc can progress toward a full herniation over time.
Treating Bulging Disc in Downtown Lebanon
One of the trickier aspects of a bulging disc is that symptoms can ease and flare depending on posture, which sometimes delays people from seeking an evaluation. Dr. Wesley Stewart has spent 29 years helping Wilson County patients get ahead of that inconsistent pattern.
Near Lebanon's Town Square, we see bulging discs often in patients whose symptoms come and go depending on how they're sitting or standing.

- An ache in the back that shifts in intensity throughout the day
