How long is back alignment procedure?
It depends on the techniques that are used. I incorporate muscle work with the alignment. If necessary, I will also provide stretches and exercises that help maintain the alignment. Treatment in my office can take up to 10-15 minutes.

How many hours a day should you wear a posture corrector?
The posture corrector is like wearing a brace. It can be helpful, but if worn long term, it can be detrimental. I would not wear it more than one hour per day. READ MORE
How should I sleep to improve my posture?
First, make sure you have a decent supporting mattress. Also, you need a pillow that supports your head and neck. I don't have one size fits all recommendation. You have to find what is comfortable for you. Sleeping on your back is best. Next, is on your side. You want the head, neck and shoulders to be close to in a line, when on your side. Avoid sleeping on your stomach. READ MORE
What is the difference between a herniated disc and a bulging disc?
A normal disc has movement that allows nutrients to be brought in and wastes to be taken out. This keeps the disc hydrated. Due to many factors/stresses, genetics, diet, exercise stress, work stress, mental stress etc. this movement can be reduced or limited. This lessens the nutrients brought in and increases the wastes around the joint. This dehydrates the disc. The fibers in the disc start to stretch out, they can encroach the spinal cord, or the adjacent nerves. This is a bulging disc. A herniated disc is when the fibers in the disc tear and the middle (called the nucleus) actually leaks out. The can leak out towards the spinal cord or the nerves adjacent to the spinal cord. In each case, a patient may or may not have symptoms. Core stabilization, stretches, exercises, chiropractic and at times non-surgical spinal decompression work well to treat a bulging or herniated disc. Best of luck, Dr. Michael Mulvaney READ MORE
