Answers:
Physical therapy for a bulging disc!.
Surgery for a herniated (ruptured) disc!.
What grade spondy do you have!? I'd be more worried about that!.
EDIT!.!.!.
Spondy's that require fusion are usually at least a grade 2!. This is when you have 25-50% of vertebral subluxation!. This surgery is more intense than just a discectomy for a ruptured disc!.
Do you know if your Listhesis is at the same level of your spondy!.!.!.I would assume so!.!.!.AND!.!.!.is that bulging disc at this level!? If this is so, you may be looking at surgical intervention if the conservative physical therapy treatments don't improve your symptoms!. The bulging disc at that level is a progression of the spondy as is the listhesis!. It is quite possible that your doctor may suggest a fusion!. That disc could very well likely rupture with the malalignment of the vertebra!. However, try the PT first!. your muscles could be strengthened to pull it back in place if you are at a grade 1!.
Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you can, set up some time with a good chiropractor who can diagnose the problem and recommend a good course of repair!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I have worked for an orthopedic surgeon for 4 years!. Lots of people have bulging discs, this is nothing to worry about, they mostly cause pain!. PT is good, most likely they will do stretching, and core muscle exercises, maybe even ultrasound or massage and if the pain is bad enough maybe talking to your Dr!. about an epidural for pain!. DO NOT GO TO A CHIROPRACTOR, this can sometimes cause more problems and pain!. Also the spondy almost everyone has that too, unfortunately this come with being a species that walks upright!. Remember you can always consult your Dr!. or in my opinion to go to an orthopedic Dr!. because they are the ones that deal with these types of issues!. Good LuckWww@Answer-Health@Com
Nowadays they can go in with a needle and draw out some of that fluid!. The bulging disc usually touches a nerve near it which causes any pain you may be experiencing!. There is one thing that you could do to help this!. If there is anything in your house that is higher than you and that you can grab with your hands, grab it and relax your body downward so as to stretch the spine!. This opens up the spaces between the disc's and the bulging may shrink back to where it belongs!. Monkeys bars at a playground is the perfect place to hang your arms and body from!. Some people say that doing this will help you grow taller, that remains to be seen!. Don't be so worried, if you do have to have the bulge drained, you won't feel it!. Best of luck to you young lady!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
