How do you fix bulging disc?
More than likely a doctor of Chiropractic will x-ray, possibly get an MRI or utilized the ones that you just had to get that diagnosis if taken in the proper manner. They may specifically adjust the vertebrae involved and possibly utilize decompress as part of the treatment. Along with teaching the client good spinal hygiene stretching to be done at home once the clients is able which will be determined y the doctor after a revaluation. I hope that helped.

Can chiropractors adjust ankles?
Yes a Chiropractor can adjust your ankles. I do that in my office often. In some States the insurance will not cover extremity adjusting. If that is the case in your State or insurance plan, expect to pay out of pocket. Most Chiropractors have taken extremity classes while at the University. There are also Doctors of Chiropractic that have specialized in sports adjusting which includes extremity adjusting. For instance, most of my career has been sports and pediatric adjusting. I hope that helps. Dr. Shanti, D.C. READ MORE
What are the treatment options for a sports hernia?
It all depends upon the hernia. Is id internal and just bulging abut or has it protruded through all levels of muscles; which can cause strangulation of that tissue. Best bet is to be seen by an internal medical doctor for an examination. I hope that helps. Dr. Shanti READ MORE
How can I adjust my lower back myself?
You can stretch your back to an extent that you will probably hear or feel the bones moving. However, you are usually moving the bone above or below the one that is misaligned and stuck. This causes the muscles and ligaments to be damaged and the discomfort will last much longer. It will continually come back. If I could adjust my back by myself I would have been doing that the past 30 years. Instead I go see a chiropractor about every 7 to 10 days to keep a healthy spine, nervous system, and immune system; they are intimately intwined. You can not get the proper line of correction to correctly align your spine by twisting yourself. Just cant happen. Dr. Shanti READ MORE
Can you pop your chest?
Yes, you can luxate your ribs, clavicles, and sternum. There are intercostal muscles that can pull them out of place or trauma. You will need to have a chiropractor palpate and test to make sure they are adjusted back in the proper line of correction. Thank you for your question. Dr. Shanti READ MORE
