What is the best treatment for a herniated disc?
From my experience the best way for a chiropractor to treat a herniated disc is with a non-surgical spinal decompression machine. I have DRX9000 tables in my office and have successfully reduced severe disc herniations after a series of approximately 24 procedures. Herniated discs range in severity depending on many factors. More importantly is whether or not the disc herniating is affecting the spinal nerve roots. If there is compression of the spinal nerve root and or spinal cord it could lead to a potentially dangerous situation, not necessarily life threatening however nerves may become damaged. READ MORE
