A new study from the peer-reviewed journal, JMPT, was just released showing that a large percentage of acute and importantly chronic lumbar disc herniation patients treated with chiropractic spinal manipulation reported clinically relevant improvement. Significant improvement for all outcomes at all time points was reported. At 3 months, 90.5% of patients were “improved” with 88.0% “improved” at 1 year. Although acute patients improved faster by 3 months, 81.8% of chronic patients reported “improvement” with 89.2% “improved” at 1 year. There were no adverse events reported. These are amazing numbers of improvement! If you have a lumbar disc herniation, acute or chronic, you should schedule with a chiropractor today to get chiropractic adjustments.

Disc herniation is so painful. And, I get it four times a year and it lasts for days at a time. I can’t work, I can hardly get up. I read this and I give in. I’ve always just sucked it up but I’m going to go see a chiropractor.
Carl Fredrickson says
Hеllo! I just wish to give you a big thumbs up for your excellent information you’ve got right here on this post. I am returning tօ your website for more soօn.
Ed Molineux says
I was moving, which was awful. I had to lift everything because we had to get out quickly. I didn’t feel it at the time because I was so stressed but I woke up and could barely walk. My chiropractor saved me. If you hurt, don’t be dumb, see a chiropractor. They are the experts!
Caitlin Reeves says
This is exactly my experience. I had back pain here and there but then I reached forward to get the soap in the shower and literally could not get back up. Chiropractic care was the only thing that helped me move again. I’d go in bent over and feel like I could skip out. It took a while, and I wasn’t good about doing my exercises at first. But, I feel so much stronger now and have no back pain.
Geneva O'Flaherty says
It is perfect time to get healthy because I want to run a marathon but my back keeps hurting when I run. Can running give you a disc herniation?
Dr. Jolene Kuty says
Poor posture in a sport can put extra pressure on the discs. At Kuty Chiropractic, we look at your sports activity postures and can help you find ways to correct them. Often runners have tight hip flexors, which tilt the pelvis forward and increase back pressure. This can take you out of the game. A good chiropractor can inhibit the hip flexor muscles, teach you to balance your pelvis with foam rolling your IT band, and adjust the spine to get you running again.
Carlos says
I just started seeing a chiropractor and the experience doesn’t seem to fit into any of the categories you described above. It’s at a bone and muscle clinic with doctors, massage therapists and the chirorpractor prescribed a treatment which involves exercise and massage and stretches, with actual chiropractic adjustment. It feels like a much more holistic approach based on prevention and long-term treatment and so far doesn’t seem flakey at all. It also has a goal and an end, so it’s not about endless visits to the chiropractor. So far it seems to be helping.
Carissa says
I am really impressed with this article. It is гare tօ see any doctors posting research on their treatments. Chiropractic has lots of research and is even recommended by the guidelines from the government. Thanks for sharing this.
Mitzi Goodson says
I really loѵe your blog. Even the colors are cheerful. I don’t like to take drugs and chiropractors look at the cause of the pain. When you just hide the symptoms your problems don’t get better. When you fix it with adjustments and the stretches and exercises they give you for home, you get better.
Gaye Coburn says
I had back pain for years before I saw a chiropractor and now I don’t have any. If you are thinking about it, see a good chiropractor. It really does help.

Lumbar Disc Herniation- New Study Shows Incredible Improvements | Kuty Chiropractic – Dr. Jolene Kuty, your Scottsdale Chiropractor. Call now 480-945-7800!
I have seen a spinal surgeon but he told me I shouldn’t have surgery. I had some injections but they didn’t work. I didn’t know that the guidelines say to see a chiropractor for an adjustment first. I never saw a chiropractic doctor before. I am a little nervous but I can see that you follow a lot of research and know your stuff. I guess I’ll come in and see if you can help.
Jasmine Haskell says
This is wonderful. Chiropractic works! This is the kind of info that should be shared across the net. Both my parents have disc herniations, I wish they lived in Scottsdale then I’d have them see you. Do you know any chiropractors in Mesa? They don’t drive.
Dr. Jolene Kuty says
Jasmine, call me and I will help you find a chiropractor near you. I’m sorry your parents have had such a difficult time with their health. With a family history of lumbar herniation, be inspired to take excellent care of your body. You only get one!
Kaeger Cardoua says
How many calories do I need to consume to lose belly fat? I think if I lost weight it would help my disc herniation.
Dr. Jolene Kuty says
Losing weight depends on a number of factors. The studies show that weight loss can’t be directed to one area. But overall weight loss will generally help you lose belly fat. A pendulous abdomen, belly fat, is a significant factor in lumbar disc herniation. Call and set up a nutritional consult and we can make a plan to lose weight and get you moving to help your low back.

Hello! My name is Alex and I stumbled upon your site while doing a quick Google search. I would like to complement your site on the theme that is currently has I really love the posts and the quality of them, most of the sites that write about the same things that you do are very repetitive and boring. I enjoy reading your posts, keep it up.

Absolutely. More and more research shows how effective and safe chiropractic care is.
James says
What planet do you live on? Can’t be earth, beaucse that’s where I live, and I’ve such great relief from Chiropractic adjustments since I was 28 years old. I’m now 67 and with less pain in my body than I had when I was 28. If Chiropractic did not help people, it would have died out years ago. It pings me off when I have to defend one of the healthiest choices of healthcare and wellness on planet earth.One of the best things I have done was to marry a chiropractor. I saw good he did, and the thousands of patients that he helped. I became a Chiropractor myself. My advice to you: Start looking for the good things in Chiropractic. Check out Oklahaven for starters. You might just be amazed.
コンバース オールスター says
Sick and tired of pain in back. I red this and chiropractic care can help my pain be better. That sound good.
Corvette Jack says
I have found chiropractic care is the best things for low back pain.
Topaz says
“I’m not surprised. You’re out of shape and you sleep on a rock-hard matrtess. You could get a softer matrtess, but that’s not going to solve the actual problem. I recommend you get back into a program of regular exercise and pay some attention to your abdominals and mid-lower back. Anti-inflammatories won’t hurt, but if you’re taking them in the amounts you say, they WILL hurt you over time.”Basically: Stop being lazy.Lo, without a single manipulation, just a bit of work on my part, et voila, the pain went away. I guess my doc wasn’t very good. He didn’t recommend addictive pain killers or surgery at all. Just told me to stop being so lazy, and do the things I knew I should be doing anyway.
Rolando says
Hi, Neat post. This is a good post about chiropractic and low back pain.
Allen says
I have had good experiences and bad ones with both traditional doctors and chiropractors. Most of my exp with chiropractors, relief in the short term, long term healing.Two years ago I pulled a muscle high on my back or in my right shoulder, I don’t even know, the pain was unbelievable and radiated everywhere. I went to my physician and he thank god trusted me enough to give me good pain medication or good enough so I could rest anyways, for 90 minutes after taking it. But it was absolutely on fire. Two massage therapists, one of whom I’d had great experience with, one who she (and others) also recommended — small, slight relief/release while on their tables but absolutely no healing. The pain so intense I cried like a kid as they dug into the muscles, trying to loosen it. Nada. Nothing. They could find nothing, the muscle(s?) obviously spasming but …I was screwed.In desperation, I asked a friend who’d told me of his luck with one chiropractor. I got on his table after telling him the story, he immediately found the muscle(s?) that were spasming and traced back to what was out of line and causing this to happen; for the first time in weeks I was out of pain. I was astonished. But to him it was matter of fact, same as a carpenter banging together a 2×4 wall, ho-hum, everyday, nothing to it. It only lasted about two hours but it gave me hope, and I went back two days later, and two days later, and don’t you fools dare say that the guy was playing that game wherein you must go to a chiro til the end of time; I was healing the entire time, the relief holding longer after each adjustment.Why am I spending all this time writing this here? Because it’s my experience, it’s what happened to me, and it is real. And I know my body, I’m no kid, this was real. I got tremendous help. Unbelievable, actually — I thought that I was just totally screwed, the rest of my life in that sort of pain; you just can’t imagine. Made me cry.So I’m writing it so that others who may see the words I’m taking the time out of my Sunday night to write will be open to the hands of a caring, talented chiropractor. My experience is that if someone closes down the door to things without trying them when they are in desperation, in real pain, if someone closes to help extended, they are, to me, fools. Sorry folks; you can disagree with my beliefs or whatever but you damn sure can’t tell me that what happened to me didn’t happen, and you can’t say that it may not happen for others.I’m not saying to not be awake, alert, take responsibility for your choices, I’m not saying that luck — in the form of finding a great chiropractor — I’m not saying that luck didn’t play a huge hand in it all, I’m not saying that there are not wacko chiropractors out there, any more that I’d say that there are no wacko doctors out there. What I am saying is that if you are in pain, and if you need help, you might also get lucky and get that help, as I did, through the care and treatment of a good chiropractor. I hope you never get the sort of pain I was in, hope also that if you do, you’ll find the quality of help.

In Japan when you have back pain you see a chiropractic doctor and acupuncturist. This is the traditional way because it is so effective.
The Stein's says
I tried surgery but then I needed another one. If I could do it over again I would have started with a chiropractor.
Antonio says
the medical community wasn’t able to make the connection between chiropractic therapy for many years. But MDs and DOs ARE coming around. I have had both good and bad experiences with MDs and DOs, and with chiropractors. My best experiences with chiropractors involved practices covered by insurance and integrated with other MDs and DOs in the community.

chloe says
everything in here is absolutely right. I had a lumbar herniated disc and went to the ER but they only prescribed muscle relaxers and pain pills which did not help. Dr Kuty helped me so much. really is a back pain expert and is so knowledgeable but she also explained everything to me. She told me how to avoid these problems and I haven’t had any more back pain. Thanks a million.
Dr. Jolene Kuty says
Chloe, you are welcome. I’m glad you feel so much better and are continuing your health with wellness care.
