Finding Lasting Relief from a Disc Herniation

 

The Problem:

Many of us have suffered or know someone who has suffered from a disc herniation. Is surgery the answer? Which type of healthcare professional is the next step? How can I find relief from a disc herniation? These are common thoughts that may race through your mind after experiencing a spinal injury.

Take a deep breath and relax. Leading research journals have shown that you have made a smart decision by choosing chiropractic care. Many leading health organizations are now recommending chiropractic care as a top choice to find relief from disc herniations.

Why it matters:

  • New research has shown that over 90% of people with a lumbar disc herniation that were treated with spinal adjustments approved within 3 months.
  • Another study found when dealing with disc herniations of the neck, 86% of people found relief with chiropractic adjustments.
  • By comparison, less than 50% who received a spinal injection experienced relief.

We continue to learn that, for a majority of the time, medications, injections and surgery are higher risk and not as effective when dealing with disc injuries. We should only resort to these more invasive measures if conservative care.

Top healthcare organizations recommend taking a conservative approach to care, such as chiropractic. Medication, injections and surgery are recommended as a last resort.

Next Steps:

I was nervous at first to go to a chiropractor, but this experience completely changed me. Not only did my lower back pain go away, but my sciatic pain did as well! The staff is amazing, especially Dr. Dockery! I recommend this office to everyone and anyone with back issues!

Thanks to Dr. Dockery, my pain I had for years is almost gone, my headaches are less often and my back pain is no longer a daily problem. He also helps with my TMJ pain. I'm grateful to have found a doctor that actually listens and helps me!
