Bulging Discs & Regenerative Solutions

What are Bulging Discs?

A bulging disc—sometimes called a slipped or protruding disc—occurs when one of the intervertebral discs (the cushion-like pads between your vertebrae) extends beyond its normal boundary.

This can place pressure on surrounding nerves, leading to pain, reduced mobility, and in some cases, radiating discomfort into the arms or legs. At Aven Clinic, we understand how disruptive this condition can be and focus on advanced, non-surgical solutions to restore both comfort and function.

What Causes Bulging Discs?

Several factors can increase the likelihood of disc problems:

Age-related degeneration

as discs lose hydration and flexibility over time

Injury or trauma

from accidents or sudden impact

Repetitive strain

from heavy lifting, twisting, or bending

Genetics

with a family history of spinal conditions

Poor posture

which increases daily stress on spinal discs

What Symptoms Should You Watch For?

A bulging disc can present differently depending on its severity and location. Common symptoms include:

Localized pain at the site of the bulge, often dull or sharp

Radiating pain into the arms or legs (radiculopathy)

Numbness or tingling in extremities, signaling nerve compression

Muscle weakness, making daily activities more difficult

Reduced mobility and stiffness in the spine

Physical therapy, with tailored exercises to strengthen support muscles and ease disc pressure

Medications, including NSAIDs to reduce pain and inflammation

Lifestyle modifications, such as ergonomic adjustments, healthy weight maintenance, and posture correction

What Are the Treatment Options?

Conservative Care

Advanced Non-Surgical Therapies

At Aven Clinic, we specialize in regenerative medicine treatments that promote healing from within, helping patients avoid unnecessary surgery.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

Uses concentrated platelets from your own blood

Growth factors stimulate disc tissue repair and reduce inflammation

Enhances the body’s natural healing capacity

Stem Cell Therapy

Stem cells harvested from bone marrow or fat tissue are injected into the disc

These cells regenerate and repair damaged disc tissue

Helps restore disc structure, reduce pain, and improve mobility long-term

Faster recovery, with minimal downtime

Fewer risks, avoiding surgical complications such as infection or anesthesia reactions

Long-lasting results, by addressing the root cause with natural healing mechanisms

Benefits of Avoiding Invasive Surgery

Choosing regenerative therapies before surgery offers important advantages:
