Hi Folks,
I am new at this forum, but i have been diagnosed with herniated disc c 4-5-6. This was determined by and MRI and scat scan. The scan was taken after the MRI as they though they saw a tumor on the MRI...
Now, i am 38 male was in good shape before all this, i was the type of guy to crack my neck alot...now i think that i shouldn't done it so much. I do not have back pain, but my problem is i can not turn my neck. I have loss about 60% of movement in my neck...when i turn left or right it is very sore and painful. Of course, sleeping as been affected because since i can not turn my head, sleeping on my back does not exist any more and many other activities. This issue as been with me now for just under 4 years.
I have had previous injuries in the past but nothing serious. Now, the doctor that requested the MRI and the scan works with a chiroprator because her way of "fixing" me would be through this decompression process...
Sure i have seen there brochures and commercials but its all nice and dandy...but i need the real truth. Does any one know if this decompression actually does work and is it perminit. See, the doctor, of course, told me that a regular chiroprator can straight you out, it will feel better but you will be back over and over and over. But, this decompression is a perminit fix.
Thank you in advance for all your help.
