Research on herniated discs has indicated that chiropractic care may be a recommended alternative to surgery. In fact, those who received chiropractic care had the same or better outcomes than those with surgery.
What are Herniated Discs?
Herniated discs are a common problem that can cause pain, numbness, and weakness in the arms or legs. The discs are the cushions between the vertebrae in your spine, and they can become herniated when they bulge or rupture. This can happen due to an injury or from wear and tear over time.
If you have a herniated disc, you may be able to treat it with conservative measures such as rest, ice, and heat. You may also need to take over-the-counter pain medication or get injections of steroids to reduce inflammation. If these methods don't work, you may need surgery to repair the disc.
Chiropractors are trained to treat herniated discs without surgery. They use manual manipulation of the spine to realign the vertebrae and take pressure off of the discs. A herniated disc chiropractor can provide relief from pain and help prevent further damage to the discs.
How can Herniated Disc Chiropractors Help?
Chiropractors can help people suffering from herniated discs avoid surgery in a number of ways. First, they can provide adjustments to the spine which can take pressure off of the disc and allow it to heal. Second, they can provide exercises and stretches which can strengthen the muscles around the disc and help to prevent further injury. Finally, they can provide lifestyle and diet advice which can help to reduce the risk of developing a herniated disc in the future.
Is Surgery the Only Option for a herniated disc?
If you have a herniated disc, you may be wondering if surgery is your only option. While surgery is an option for some people, it is not the only option. Chiropractors can help people suffering from herniated discs avoid surgery.
Chiropractors use a variety of techniques to treat herniated discs, including spinal manipulation, traction, and massage. They can also provide advice on exercises and lifestyle changes that can help improve your condition.
Surgery should always be considered as a last resort when other treatment options have failed. If you are considering surgery for your herniated disc, make sure to consult with a chiropractor first to see if they can help you avoid this potentially risky procedure.
