What Is Chiropractic?

Chiropractors use hands-on spinal manipulation and other alternative treatments, the theory being that proper alignment of the body's musculoskeletal structure, particularly the spine, will enable the body to heal itself without surgery or medication

Treatment options for lumbar disc herniation?

• For lumbar herniated discs, conservative (non-surgical) treatments can usually be applied for around four to six weeks to help reduce pain and discomfort

• treatments focused on pain relief (such as medications) may help patients better tolerate other treatments (such as manipulation or physical therapy).
• If conservative treatments are successful in reducing pain and discomfort, the patient may choose to continue with them.
• or those patients who experience severe pain and a high loss of function and don’t find relief from conservative treatments, surgery may be considered as an option.
• You should be examined and followed up by neurosurgeon

Many factors increase the risk for disc herniation:

• Lifestyle choices such as tobacco use, lack of regular exercise, and inadequate nutrition

• As the body ages, natural biochemical changes cause discs to gradually dry out, which can affect disc strength and resiliency.
• Poor posture combined with the habitual use of incorrect body mechanics stresses the lumbar spine and affects its normal ability to carry the bulk of the body's weight.
