A member asked:
Is it safe to go to chiro if you have bulging disc in neck that is not pressing on nerves?

Probably : Choose a chiropractor carefully...one with gentle and trusted techniques and an excellent reputation. Avoid one that focuses on rapid and forceful manipulations of the neck/cervical spine.

No: Sadly, there are numerous cases of people paralyzed or killed by chiropractic manipulation of the neck. True, a gentle massage might feel good, but you dare not trust that the chiro might not try "manipulation". Chiropractic is based on ideas not based on valid science, and many of its practitioners espouse junk science. Much better to see a neurologist.

Why would you go?: Are you havin pain? Musculoskeletal problems can give you neck pain (strain, joints, arthritis, pinched nerve). A disc bulge can be minor or serious. Why would you go to a chiro ? Best to see an md who can help you isolate the cause and arrive at a solution. In the mean time, stretch, heat, relaxation may help.
