A member asked:
Can going to a chiropractor for herniated discs make you 1, 2 or more inches taller? if so, is that growth temporary or permanent?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not very likely: Chiropractic manipulations can reduce symptoms from herniated discs, but will not restore disc height, and therefore will not make you taller.
