As a scoliosis chiropractor known worldwide for his expertise, Dr. Tony Nalda shares insights and hope for patients and parents who have received a scoliosis diagnosis. Traditional scoliosis treatments prescribe years of "watching and waiting" instead of decisive action. Patients can be told to wear cumbersome, embarrassing braces for 20 or more hours a day. Eventually, expensive, invasive surgery often becomes the only option for treatment. It doesn’t have to be this way! The chiropractic-centered approach to treating scoliosis is proactive, effective and hopeful. In this podcast, Dr. Tony Nalda describes the realities of scoliosis and busts some of the more prevalent myths about treating the condition. But my primary goal is to give patients and parents hope. Surgery can often times be avoided. Treatment can be proactive and effective. Spinal curvatures can be reduced. Patients can live rich, full, and active lives.

Episode 158: Bulging Disc in Neck & Back Symptoms & Treatment
Podcast Show Notes: Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda
Episode Title: Bulging Discs in the Neck & Back: Causes, Symptoms, and Structural Treatment
🎙️ Episode Overview:
Bulging or herniated discs are one of the most common spinal issues patients face—especially when scoliosis or misalignment is present. In this episode, Dr. Tony Nalda breaks down what causes disc bulging, why spinal structure plays such a critical role, and how to treat the root cause—not just the symptoms.
🔍 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✅ What Are Spinal Discs?
Spinal discs sit between vertebrae and act as cushions and shock absorbers
Each disc has a soft inner core (gel) and tough outer layer (annulus)
They support spinal alignment, flexibility, and protect against wear and tear
✅ What Is a Bulging Disc?
A bulging disc occurs when the disc shifts or protrudes beyond its normal position
This can place pressure on nearby nerves, causing pain or neurological symptoms
Common in the cervical (neck) and lumbar (lower back) regions
Disc desiccation – loss of hydration makes discs more prone to bulging
Trauma – car accidents, falls, and sports injuries
Repetitive microtrauma – poor posture and prolonged sitting
✅ Symptoms of Bulging Discs:
Local pain (neck or back)
Muscle spasms or stiffness
Numbness, tingling, or weakness in arms or legs
Sciatica (pain radiating down the leg)
Difficulty walking or maintaining posture
In advanced cases, bladder or bowel issues
✅ Why Treating Alignment Matters:Dr. Nalda compares a misaligned spine to an ice cream sandwich:
If you squeeze it unevenly, the "ice cream" (disc) bulges out.Until you realign the spine, the disc cannot return to normal.
✅ Conservative, Structural Approach to Treatment:
Chiropractic adjustments to correct misalignment
Rehabilitative exercises and traction
Postural re-education and ergonomic advice
Stabilization techniques to prevent recurrence
✅ What NOT to Do:
Rely solely on pain management (injections, meds) without correcting the structure
Ignore early signs like stiffness, nerve tingling, or postural changes
💡 Key Takeaway:
Bulging discs aren't just a result of aging—they’re often a symptom of deeper spinal misalignments. Fixing alignment is the first step toward real, lasting relief. At the Scoliosis Reduction Center, patients receive a personalized, structural approach to not only relieve pain—but help prevent long-term degeneration.
