Is chiropractic care safe for disc herniations?

“Yes, with appropriate technique selection. We do not perform high-velocity lumbar rotation on acute disc herniations. Flexion distraction, Activator, and McKenzie-based care are all well-supported, low-risk approaches for disc pathology. The rare cases that aren't appropriate for conservative care — severe neurological deficits, cauda equina syndrome — are identified during the intake and referred immediately.”
