WILL STEROIDS HELP BULGING DISC?

WHAT IS A BULGING DISC?

A bulging disc occurs when the outer layer of the disc tears, causing the inner part to protrude. This can affect nearby nerves, leading to pain and numbness.

THE ROLE OF STEROIDS

Steroids are commonly used to reduce inflammation in the treatment of bulging discs. They can be administered orally or via injection.

THE IMPACT OF INFLAMMATION

Inflammation is a major contributor to pain associated with bulging discs. Steroids can help alleviate this inflammation and reduce pain.

TREATMENT OPTIONS

Oral steroids and epidural steroid injections are common treatments for bulging discs, each with its own benefits and drawbacks.

WHAT DO STUDIES SAY?

Research indicates that oral steroids can slightly improve function but do not significantly reduce pain compared to a placebo.

POTENTIAL RISKS

Steroid treatment can have side effects, and long term use may lead to serious issues like osteoporosis.

ALTERNATIVE TREATMENTS

Physical therapy, NSAIDs, and alternative therapies can also be effective in managing bulging disc pain.
