Yes it is! We help get the vertebrae moving and functioning correctly again allowing sometimes the bulging disc to even recede. Thank you for your time!
Sure. Most disc bulges respond well to self care: Ice where it hurts 20 minutes on, 1 hour off whenever you are awake. Get on all fours and do cat and camel exercises several times a day. Avoid NSAIDs, Tylenol, Aspirin, all of which slow recovery. Disc bulges, even sequestered fragments heal well with time; the subdural space is lousy with Macrophages, white blood cells that gobble up what doesn't belong there. Adjustments assist in healing in good alignment. If you do nothing but ice when and where you hurt, you are way ahead of the game.
