Dr. Lin Yunfei
Bulging lumbar discs can generally be treated with medications and acupuncture. Since bulging intervertebral discs often cause pain, patients may take oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to relieve discomfort. Acupuncture helps unblock the meridians in the lower back, alleviates muscle spasms, and reduces numbness in the limbs. This makes acupuncture an excellent treatment option for patients with bulging lumbar discs.
