A member asked:
If chiropractor adjusts herniated cervical discs of an adult (over 30) will it cause discs to expand thereby increasing their height by several inches?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There are things that a chiropractor can do to improve the pain from a herniated disc, but among them is not the ability to cause a cervical disc to "expand several inches."
