From years, many years(over 14 years) of experience with back pain, disc herniations(multiple levels), both of my cervical and lumbar spine, I would suggest that you get a referrel to either a Neurosurgeon or a Orthopedic Spine surgeon!. This is not to say you will need surgery!. I recommend these types of docs because of their vast knowledge of your condition!. The above mentioned docs are also sometimes called "spine specialist"!.
Your other option would be to be referred to a "pain management center"!. If its a center, the above mentioned docs are there plus others and they will decided or offer what would be in your best interest!. Oh yeah!.!.!.!.your 3rd option would be to wait!. Herniated discs do get re-obsolved by the body, usually around the 6th - 8th week!.
I DO NOT, repeat, DO NOT, recommend going to a chiro at this time!. Being manipulated with a herniated disc in your back can be dangerous!. The manipulation can cause a piece of the disc to break off and change positions causing even more pain and/or permenant damage!.!.!.but it is your decision!. There are a handful of folks in this world that would highly recommend a chiro, I'm not one of them!. I have been to a chiro, but not for a herniated disc!. As a matter of fact, while being manipulated for another problem, the disc at L3-L4 herniated!!
So, have I talked to much!.!.!.sorry!. Good luck and take care!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
