Case & Symptoms:

  • A 44 year old man was diagnosed with a herniated cervical disc by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and was treated utilizing chiropractic care.

  • His symptoms included severe neck pain, constant burning, left arm and shoulder pain, plus numbness in the index finger of the left hand.

  • He also had diminished grip strength on the left hand, a decreased bicep and tricep reflex on the left, and a sensory deficit on the left.

  • The MRI scan revealed a large left lateral disc herniation at the C6-C7 level.

Improvements:

  • By the fifth week of chiropractic care, the patient’s symptoms of severe neck, shoulder, and arm pain were completely resolved.

  • The patient’s numbness and grip strength improved consistently during the following six months.

  • Comparative MRI obtained 14 months following the initial exam revealed total resolution of the herniated disc.

Pretty cool stuff right?

Remember to try the conservative chiropractic route before electing to go for more invasive approaches! If you know anyone with a herniated disc issue, please share this email with them to spread the word!
