Is Chiropractic Care Good For Bulging Discs And Disc Herniation?
I was just diagnosed with several bulging discs from L2 through to L5 S1 with one disc herniation. I am thinking along the lines of chiropractic care only because I had seen one year s ago with very good results although it was not as bad as this. Thank you.

Hello.
I can't suggest chiropractic treatment for a disc herniation, since that may actually worsen your problem.
Were I your doctor, I would refer you to a physiatrist--a physical medicine and rehabilitation MD specialist--for a treatment regimen that should help your problem
