Besides surgery what would be the best way to take care of a herniated disk so there won't be any pain?

I have herniated disk and the pain goes down my right leg I have been on vic's and ibuprophen. nothing really kills the pain all the way. I just want relief.

If you have a herniated disk, the last place you need to be is a chiropractor. Chiropractic manipulations can easily make a bad situation much worse. My personal chiropractor refused to touch me when see saw the MRI of my neck. He immediately set me up with a neurologist.

As for relief other than surgery - none! The disk is pressing on nerves and causing the pain. The only way to get relief is to have the offending material removed.

There is a danger to putting off surgery. The herniated disk will continue to press on the nerve. Eventually, you will have permanent nerve damage. I had my C5-C6 disk fixed 8 years ago and still have numbness in my hand.

The surgery is the only way to go. When I woke from my C5-C6 discectomy and fusion - I immediately knew I was fixed!
No more pain and the strength returned to my arm. Again the only remaining issue is the numbness.

The only other thing would be a chiroprator if it isn't too far gone.;;;
