OPTIONS FOR TREATING A HERNIATED DISC

Herniated Disc - Can A Chiropractor Help?

"Can A Chiropractor Fix A Bulging Disc?"
by Dr. Benjamin Geddes

Yeah, I think that the chiropractors certainly can add something to spine care, no doubt. I think in the case of disc herniation, particularly in the cervical spine, it's not going to do anything to affect the resorption or healing of the disc. And actually, if there's a relatively large disc herniation, doing any kind of rough manipulation can actually be dangerous because there's just less room for the spinal cord and you could have a neurologic injury if there was too significant or too quick of a maneuver of the neck.

So I think in this particular case, it's not going to expedite the healing of the disc.
