Herniated & Bulging Disc Treatment in New Rochelle, NY
Conservative, non-surgical care that reduces disc pressure and calms irritated nerves.
A sample MRI report of findings — this is what we walk you through during a consultation if imaging shows a disc problem. (Not an actual patient; for illustration only.)
A herniated or bulging disc can turn simple things — sitting, driving, sleeping, picking up your kids — into daily struggles. The good news: most disc injuries do not require surgery. With the right conservative care, pressure on the disc and the nerves around it can often be reduced so your body has the chance to heal.
A disc is built like a jelly donut: a tough outer ring (the annulus fibrosus) contains a softer, gel-like center (the nucleus pulposus). A bulging disc happens when that outer ring weakens and the whole disc pushes outward; a herniated disc means the ring has actually torn and the inner material pushes through it. Either way, the disc can crowd a nearby spinal nerve — which is why you may feel pain, numbness, or weakness far from the disc itself, down an arm or leg.
Dr. Cossifos has treated disc injuries in New Rochelle for over three decades. Your care may combine gentle spinal adjustments, non-surgical spinal decompression on the DRX9000 or Accu-SPINA®, Class IV laser therapy, and simple at-home strategies — all tailored to your exam findings, not a one-size-fits-all protocol. It's this conservative-first approach that has kept hundreds of our disc patients off the surgical table.
