Good afternoon. Unfortunately, once a disc has protruded or bulged, there is no proven way to fix it. Chiropractic care does not fix a herniated disc but it can greatly improve the symptoms associated with this condition, depending on the severity of the disc bulge and or protrusion. There are various stretches and exercises to alleviate discogenic pain. I would advise seeking professional help before trying any at home exercises and stretches.

If your sciatic pain is musculoskeletal, then a few weeks of physiotherapy and rest might help. If your sciatic pain is discogenic (caused by a protruded disc that might be pinching the nerve), then you might want to look into some anti-inflammatory remedies, spinal traction, and/or epidural injections. The only way to tell if you have a pinched nerve that is causing your sciatica, is by obtaining an MRI.

Good morning. There is nothing to be nervous about. Often times, a chiropractic adjustment to the neck can help instantly alleviate neck pain and soreness. With the proper evaluation and care, you will be surprised as to how easy and pain free it an be. A chiropractor looks for restrictions in the spine, where nerves and tissues can be compromised and as a result causing pain to that area. He/she then tries to correct that misalignment or restriction by performing what is called a chiropractic manipulation. The "cracking" you hear is nothing but Oxygen being released between the joint. Kind of like the noise hear when cracking your knuckles.
