  • I have several bulging discs in my spine. Should I be treated by a chiropractor or have surgery?

    Surgery always results in scar tissue. this causes further immobiilty, and you will need continual surgeries about every 5-7 years, because the other joints will work harder to compensate. So make sure your gluts and hips are stretched, as that is half the back motion. This will lessen the stress on the discs. Inversion tables will be helpful as well. Athlean X has great videos on you tube for free. READ MORE
