has anybody used a chiropractor on a bulging disk?did it help?
i went for a consultation yesterday.i had to sign that they are not responsible for any damages! that had me a little worried.can you tell me whether it has helped you or made things worse?
Hi, I also have two disc prolapses and a bad back and sciatica. I see a Chiropractor once a week and it helps me alot. Once you have a disc injury, your back can react by altering its posture to compenste for the imbalances and also go into muscle spasm. This is nature’s way of keeping the spine straight and stabilising the disc, but it also increases your pain and discomfort.
Chiropractic adjustments help keep your spine in correct alignment. This in turn means that the disc is more likely to retract into it’s proper position and have less pessure on it thus be less prone to bulge or herniate. Adjustments are also very effective at easing the muscle spasm associated with disc injuries.
A Chiroprator should have done x-rays on your spine. If you have had an MRI scan done, you should get a copy on disc from the hospital and give it to your Chiroprator to read. Make them aware that you are nervous and they will start off with gentle adjustments to allow you to get used to it. They can also do a more gentle technique of adjusting with an “Activator”. This is something that they just put on your back and press. It looks like a pen, and just gives a gentle shock like feeling. It helps the body to heal.
I also used to work in Chiropractic and I can tell you that many people with disc injuries go for this form of treatment. There are risks associated with any form of manipulation such as “Cauda Equina Syndrome”, but this is extremely unlikely and your reflexes should be tested by the Chirporactor. Any change in bowel or bladder habit should also be discussed with them prior to an adjustment (should it be an issue). If the Chiropractor has asked these questions and is happy, trust them to help you.
Be extremely careful about any surgery, this is often unsuccessful and scar tissue from a procedure can actually cause more hindrance then help long term. Be realistic though. You have a back injury. This will always be an area of weakness for you and no one, no chiropractor, medical doctor, osteopath or any other therapist will “cure” you straight away. You must take care of your spine and do as much with it as you can, but always listen to pain.
With regards to the disclaimer – it wont be nearly as big or frightening as one that an orthopaedic surgeon will hand over before an operation! Everyone has these now, its the day and age where people get sued left right and centre. So they play it safe. I would say go for it with the Chiropractor, good luck, and try not to worry – that wont help you heal either!
