QuestionIs there effective chiropractic treatment for sciatica pain from bulging disc in lumbar?
AnswerHi Roy,
No one is going to fix a bulging disc. Usually the symptoms come from the inflammation in the surrounding tissues aggravating the nerves. This is a result of the poor biomechanics from a dysfunctional disc.
So, the treatment is to reduce inflammation and spasm while restoring normal range of motion so that the body stops aggravating itself. Then retraining the systems to maintain the improvement.
The disc problem will still be there.
Basically, the damaged disc give you less room for error. But it can be much more livable unless it is quite large and directly pressing the nervous system.
The short answer is, yes chiropractic may well help. And it is safe and natural.
Hope this helps.
