A member asked:
A year after going to a chiropractor for herniated disks i find myself very noticeably taller. did the adjustments do that & is this growth permanent?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chiropractic adjust: Regular chiropractic adjustments can improve posture and help correct mild curvature of spine- this can lead to the ability to comfortably stand taller thus creating feeling of being taller. Herniated discs typically lead to hunched posture
