Is Broad Based Disc Bulge Of T8-T9 Debilitating?

I am wondering if a broad based disc bulge of the t8 - t9 would be dibilitating, why did the chiropractor say he can't help me - he recommended injections, but didn't say of what. I had the MRI sent to my chiropractor, because the physician that ordered it is on vacation until next week.
Thanks,
Deena

A disc bulge by itself may or may not be a significant issue.

It depends on the MRI report and images, to see if there is compression of the spinal cord, the nerves, or if there is no neurologic issues.
