sorry.. no
the bulges are inside your spine pressing against your spinal cord they don't require a gp, a bone specialist or a muscle specialist, what you need is a Neurosurgeon and a MRI. Only then do you have the information you need and the correct level of doctor to explain your options to you and that might even be phiso, but only that neurosurgeon has the info and qualifications to decide that.
If you strain your back, pull a muscle, or have a skeletal alignment problem then maybe phiso or chiros can help, but not for a bulge
I'd guess most of those having surgery were in the same position as me, which is you probably needed an operation the first time you go an see the doctor because you've delayed that visit by 12 months or more already. Yet they still put you through phiso and all that stuff, usually just making it worse because the window of opportunity for anything like that to work has long since past.
If you have back pain.. do your best to get in to a Neurosurgeon, let them decide if chrio or phiso is all you need.
