Research on chiropractic treatment of low back pain is quite favorable. However, severe disc bulges and herniations respond less well to chiropractic adjustive intervention. Chiropractic care is recommended more often for mild to moderate cases of disc-related spinal pain. In fact, large disc herniations are considered a contraindication to certain chiropractic treatment methods.

A Doctor of Chiropractic is the most qualified professional to determine whether care would or would not be beneficial in your particular case. If chiropractic intervention is not appropriate for you or does not achieve adequate recovery then Non-Surgical Disc Decompression would likely be recommended.
