Study shows 90% of low back disc herniations showed significant improvement with chiropractic spinal manipulation. 88% still show improvement after a year.
Chiropractic is shown again and again to be effective for disc herniations and back pain, before going for a steroid shot or living on pain medication, and especially before going for surgery, consider trying chiropractic.
Give us a call and we will gladly do a full examination and let you know if we believe you would benefit from chiropractic care.

“Results
Significant improvement for all outcomes at all time points was reported (P < .0001). At 3 months, 90.5% of patients were “improved” with 88.0% “improved” at 1 year. Although acute patients improved faster by 3 months, 81.8% of chronic patients reported “improvement” with 89.2% “improved” at 1 year. There were no adverse events reported.” directly from article at http://www.jmptonline.org/article/S0161-4754(14)00034-7/abstract
