Many times we can it depends on how large it is and if it's pressing on the spinal cord in the canal.
This is a great question. It certainly will depend on the region, nature and extent of the herniation as well as what impact it is having on the surrounding neural tissue (spinal cord and nerves). These factors can be determined by a comprehensive examination from a qualified doctor (MD or DC) who is experienced in this area along with a MRI of the region. My 35+ years of clinical experience has shown me that many spinal disc problems, including herniations, can be managed with conservative measures which would include chiropractic care. It should be noted that the chiropractic approach/technique that is implemented needs to be clinically appropriate for the specific disc condition of the patient. Additionally, when a frank disc herniation that demonstrates on MRI, infringement to neural tissue with clinical signs and symptoms of nerve compromise on examination, it is my opinion that a neurosurgical consult with a spine surgeon is warranted. In this instance, a patient may still be able to manage their condition without surgery but is advised to get that surgeons opinion as well. I hope this helps.
