Question
Hello,
I have a sharp pain in my buttock area when lifting my leg or walking, from what I have heard this is a bulged disc. Can this be treated by a chiropractor?

Answer
wether or not a disc bulge is actually present, treatment of effects such as this is not the purpose of chiropractic. the purpose of chiropractic is to correct the cause of nerve interference. often disc protrusions themselves do not produce symptoms, but like the pain which may also be present, are only collateral effects/symptoms of a common cause-nerve interference, and often when the cause of the interference has been corrected, the symptoms abade.
