How Chiropractic Can Help

Chiropractic care is a non-invasive, drug-free approach to treating spinal disc complaints. Chiropractors focus on correcting misalignments in the spine and other joints, which can help to reduce inflammation, improve nerve function, and relieve pain.

Chiropractic treatments for spinal disc complaints typically involve spinal adjustments, which are gentle manipulations of the spine to help restore proper alignment. Chiropractors may also use other therapies, such as massage, heat therapy, and cold therapy, to help relieve pain and inflammation.

Research has shown that chiropractic care can be effective in treating spinal disc complaints. A 2020 study published in the journal Pain found that chiropractic care was more effective than medication in reducing pain and improving function in people with herniated discs. Another study, published in the journal Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, found that chiropractic care was effective in reducing pain and improving function in people with degenerative disc disease.

Here are some of the benefits of chiropractic care for spinal disc complaints:

• Reduces pain and inflammation
• Improves range of motion
