Disc Herniations of the spine-Chicago Chiropractor
Published by Chicago Chiropractor Seaman Chiropractic on Thursday, April 16, 2009 at 6:37 PM.
Twenty-seven patients with painful disc herniations of the neck and low back (lumbar) spine received chiropractic care. MRIs revealed that in 63% of the patients the herniations had completely disappeared or been reduced. (12)
We ,at Seaman Chiropractic, use a specialized ,gentle table specifically designed for disc protrusions, herniations and slipped discs called a Flexion -Distraction table.
I also have had great success with the combination of this table and acupuncture for sciatica(leg pain).Your disc is a shock absorber and a spacer between the bones of the vertebrae.It is like a jelly doughnut with a soft center.
