A member asked:
If chiropractor heals herniated discs-cervical is disc height restored, adding a significant amount of height to an adult or does it not impact height?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Disc height: Remember that discs are flexible and not rigid , therefore reducing or restoring a disc herniation does not affect your height . It is somewhat questionable as to whether or not a chiropractor can "restore a herniated disc". Finally we have 7 discs in our necks so the amount of height determined by one disc space is small
