It depends on the severity of the disc herniation. Chiropractic can help that space get the necessary hydration with flexion-extension therapy. The case must be evaluated to determine the action plan.
Absolutely! Chiropractic care for disc herniations should always be considered before surgical intervention.
Hello, Yes, as long as they are using non surgical spinal decompression. It's one of the best treatment methods for disc hernia.
Yes, you can. However, not all chiropractors use true non-surgical spinal decompression machines. This is not cookie-cutter treatment. Some chiropractors have traction tables calling it decompression when it is not. A true decompression table has a high tower to allow for the proper disc angle of pull. Traditional chiropractic treatment will not take care of bulging herniated and or extruded discs. True non-surgical spinal decompression however does just that. It also depends on the Doctors' protocols. I am educated and trained in the Harvard protocols whom was developed by Dr Normal Shealy a Harvard-trained Neurosurgeon who also invented the Tens unit.
