Hi, I have two bulging discs, one in the thorasic regtion and one in the lumbar region. I have tried PT and it has worked but someone told me that if I went to a Chiropractor I could get rid of the pain without the two a day exercise sessions. Please tell me your experiences so I can make an informed decision. Thanks!

It's hard to say if the chiropractic will help you, unless you actually try it. Staying physically strong will always help chronic pain. I don't think it is a bad idea to try every kind of alternative possible. Go for it! It does help alot of people.

Chiropractic should not be percieved as a quick fix. Chiropractic adjustment provides a normalization of your spinal biomechanics for your body to heal herself. Does it mean that if you go to see a doctor of chiropractic, you will not need to do those exercise EVER?
THE ANSWER IS " NO ". The PT exercise you were presribed are there for you to strengthen, stretch or balance your muscular system, and they are very important. The best is for you to COMBINE chiropractic treatment with PT exercises. The recovery time will be much shorter. Help yourself ACTIVELY! God Bless!

Im ready to start...
