Yes, you can go to a chiropractor for a back hernia. Chiropractors can provide valuable assistance in managing the symptoms associated with a herniated disc, including pain relief and improved spinal function. However, it's essential to consult with your healthcare provider first to determine if chiropractic care is appropriate for your specific condition.
There are a few different treatments available for herniated discs, which include:
Physical Therapy: Targeted exercises to strengthen the muscles around the spine.
Epidurals: Corticosteroid injections can help reduce inflammation and alleviate pain.
Nerve Ablations: Procedures that can help relieve pain by interrupting nerve signals.
Medications: Options like gabapentin can help manage pain.
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression: Techniques like the DRX-9000 can relieve pressure on the affected disc.
Minimally Invasive Surgery: Procedures like microdiscectomy to remove the herniated portion of the disc.
Spinal Fusion: This is generally considered a last resort when other treatments have failed.
Make sure to discuss all your options with your healthcare provider to develop a comprehensive treatment plan.

Great question! Yes, most chiropractors are capable of treating disc herniations. My personal recommendation would be to find a chiropractor that is certified in Cox-Flexion Distraction as this is the gold standard for treating disc herniations!
We haven't heard of that one. Depends on the problem. More than likely yes. An exam and potential xrays would be recommended.
Is it a herniation of the disc? If so, yes conservative care could help you with the pain, and mobility.
I think tough probably mean a disc herniation which is in your back. Yes, chiropractors can help with that. Sent from Gmail Mobile
You mean a herniated disc in the back? Yes but the Chiropractor must be experienced with treating them. Chiropractic is helpful. When all the bones around the hernia are in place it helps it heal. And the muscles are relaxed.
Strictly speaking a back hernia is not really a thing. Now if you have a herniated disk in your back that makes a bit more sense. DCs see patients frequently for this diagnosis, wether they are able to help, should probably be evaluated on a case by case basis.
