Docs, could a chiropractor help with a bone spur pinching the c5 nerve in my neck?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Possible: Many times conservative care can include chiropractic care. if you are not better soon (less than 10-15 treatments), then consider other options like a spine fellowship trained pain specialist.

Chiropractor: Manipulation of the neck is considered dangerous by allopathic medical science (MDs). A bone spur can never go away with any treatment except a surgery. A pinched nerve can be effecively treated. Manipulation of the neck can lead to stroke, further damage to the cervical spine and the joints in the spine as well as discs. Be careful..
