To understand whether chiropractic treatment is good for herniated disc, we have to first understand what a herniated disc means and what is meant by chiropractic treatment?
Discs are located in the spinal cord in between the vertebrae allowing the spine to bend. Such an inter-vertebral disc consists of an outer fibrous ring and a central soft portion. The movement of the vertebrae allows blood and fluids to pass through to this disc supplying it with essential nourishment. When a disc does not receive proper nourishment due to lack of movement, the outer ring dries up and tears resulting in bulging of the central soft portion. This is called herniated disc, also known as slipped disc or disc protrusion.
