May one suggest avoiding the chiro for herniated discs. The barstewards almost put me in a wheelchair and charged like a wounded buffalo for it. A slight tweak to a misaligned spine is what they're for, if you have pain and weakness caused by herniated discs, the only way out is surgery. I went various routes myself to avoid having surgery and things only got progressively worse. I ended up dragging a foot while walking in a classic case of "drop foot" and being unable to sit for more than five minutes without intense pain. Surgery sorted all that out almost instantaneously but I was warned that the longer you leave it the more damage occurs as a result of the nerves being compressed by the herniated disc. If it's required, best to get it done sooner rather than later.
Currently have six pins, two metal cages and two connecting rods bolting spine to pelvis, no pain and full use of all the bits previously affected.
