HOW CAN I RELIEVE PAIN AND DISCOMFORT FROM A BULGING DISC?

 

A bulging disc (or slipped disc) is a common spinal injury pertaining to the intervertebral discs that make up your spine. These discs are spongy cushions that sit between your vertebrae to act as a shock absorber.

They can “slip” or move out of position due to incorrect manual handling techniques, repetitive trauma, poor posture or spinal degeneration.

Common symptoms include pain at the level of injury, numbness, and aggravated pain when sitting for long periods of time or bending over.

Bauerfeind’s high-quality supports or braces with medical-grade compression target the pain symptoms related to a bulging disc to provide relief and stability.

The compression and straps are designed to help stabilise the spine and relieve any extra pressure that may stress it.

Our back supports also help to improve mobility, allowing you to continue performing everyday activities without experiencing any restrictions on movement.

We do not recommend using cheap neoprene back braces. These braces offer little support and do not wick moisture, which decreases their durability.
