In this paper a patient presents in a chiropractic office with a herniation of the C6-C7 disc (which is one of the most commonly herniated discs in the spine). She was 60 years old and was experiencing severe neck and left shoulder pain along with numbness and tingling and pain in the left hand. The chiropractor analyzed and corrected spinal misalignments of the vertebra above and below the herniated disc which helped to stabilize the joint. Within 6 weeks the patient was 60% better, and by 5 months she had a near total resolution. So, if you know of someone suffering from pain in the neck and arm as a result of a herniated disc, chiropractic is a very safe and effective way to stabilize the issues surrounding a herniated disc.

So why would chiropractic care be effective at helping to reduce the symptoms related with herniated discs and radiculopathy? Well, effectively the cervical spine holds a 10-15 lb bowling ball up all day in gravity, and if the bones are not aligned, the weight of an unevenly placed bowling ball causes the bottom two cervical disks to herniate. Chiropractic is very effective at balancing the vertebra of the cervical spine by correcting misalignments in the vertebra. This is especially true of Upper Cervical Chiropractic offices that focus strictly on that head neck relationship. Secondly, we reduce inflammation and increase nerve flow between the neck and the brain by releasing tension in the nerves caused by misalignments.
