Is surgery necessary in the treatment of bulging discs?
Usually surgery is not recommended for a bulging disc. Symptoms of pain and sensory abnormalities usually do not require immediate intervention, but patients who have significant weakness or a rapidly progressing problem should consult their healthcare professional. The DDS 500 is especially valuable for pre and post surgery, providing stability equal to a stiff body jacket with the added benefit that as the patient progresses and requires less support, the detachable rigid panels can be removed to create a semi-rigid support with one or no support panels. It easily converts to a soft LSO and provides greater flexibility.
