Clearing up a common misconception about Chiropractic Care and Disc Herniations. 

Can Chiropractic help pain and symptoms from herniated lumbar (lower back) discs and is it safe?
 
Research published in JMPT looked at the results of Chiropractic Care In Patients with MRI Confirmed Disc Herniations. 

The patients were treated and followed for a year to see how the Chiropractic Treatment effected their pain and symptoms.

• Researchers found significant improvement at every time period starting at 2 weeks through 1 year. 
• At 3 months, 90.5% of patients were improved and 88.0% improved at 1 year. 
• 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.

"CONCLUSIONS: A large percentage of acute and importantly chronic lumbar disc herniation patients treated with chiropractic spinal manipulation reported clinically relevant improvement."

Outcomes of acute and chronic patients with magnetic resonance imaging-confirmed symptomatic lumbar disc herniations receiving high-velocity, low-amplitude, spinal manipulative therapy: a prospective observational cohort study with one-year follow-up.

Other research has demonstrated that Chiropractic Care is very good for many people suffering with acute (recent) lower back pain, as well as, chronic neck or back pain.
