As a team, we work together to discover the root cause of your back problem and develop a personalized chiropractic plan to help restore and maintain your health and vitality. During an initial chiropractic consultation, a chiropractor will ask about the patient's health history. Some medical conditions may require alternative therapies from a chiropractor such as people with osteoporosis, arthritis, or those who take blood-thinning medication.

A herniated disc can occur in any of the spinal discs along the spine. A disc herniation can commonly be confused as a disc bulge. Other names for herniated disc are protrusion, prolapsed, ruptured or slipped.
