sadly forceful neck manipulation (adjustments) can cause a cervical disc to herniate. or worse. stick with your spine surgeon now and avoid any further chiropractic adjustments.
can a chiropractor cause a herniated disc? . i visited a new chiropractor(dc) cause mine is 40 min away. the dc adjusted my neck so hard that it scared me. i returned to my regular dc the next week with symptoms of neck pain numbness & tingling down my arm. he was worried when the arm symptoms did not go away. i am currently in treatment with a spine surgeon had x-rays steroid pills pain&nerve meds an mri shows that i have herniated discs. i had a epidural injection today & if that doesn't work my next option would be spinal fusion.
