Can chiropractors make a herniated disc worse?
Proper chiropractic care can give great relief to the excruciating pain of a herniated disc. When I adjust a patient with a possible herniated disc, I do a technique called Flexion-Distraction, in which I do some stretches to traction the patient's spine creating some space between the vertebra and taking pressure off the disc that is being compressed. I am then able to do a conservative, low amplitude adjustment. Additionally, I instruct patients to do ice therapy at home between chiropractic treatments. READ MORE
How do chiropractors and massage therapists work together?
Chiropractic and Massage Therapy are great synergistic professions because they complement each other so well. Chiropractic involves removing nerve interference, which is most often caused by vertebral bones of the spine being misaligned and creating nerve interference which inhibits function of muscles, organs, and cells of the body. Chiropractors realign these bones and allow the body to function properly. Massage therapists deal with soft tissue issues including muscles, ligaments, and tendons as well as vascular issues as massage therapy is very good for blood circulation. When chiropractic care and massage therapy are used in conjunction with each other, they are very good resources for complete wellness. READ MORE
