Bulging Discs

Here in Sacramento and Rancho Cordova we see so many patients with herniated discs or bulging discs. Chiropractic helps restore more normal motion and position of the bones in the spine. In addition there are certain chiropractic techniques which help relieve pain from specific disc conditions like a ruptured disc, disc herniation, or protruded disc.

While chiropractic has helped many people with pain caused by slipped discs, both large and small, we respect that disc conditions are often slow to heal and sometimes difficult to treat. Modern Chiropractic techniques are often effective in helping patients recover from the pain associated with bulging discs or herniated discs.

Dr. Jeri Anderson, Sacramento Chiropractor

“My name is Mike. I’m 40 years old in April of 2006 and I first met Dr. Jeri and her wonderful staff in July of 2005.

I had suffered a bad disc rupture in my neck in November of 2004. I was left with very little use of my right arm for months. After meeting with the Spine Surgeon in April of ‘05 and having an MRI done on the affected area, he stated that I was “an excellent candidate for “Neck Fusion Surgery”. At the time I was for anything that could help me. I have been a weight lifter for many years and was willing to do anything that would allow me to get back into the gym.

I was scheduled for surgery in July ’05 and just days before my scheduled surgery, I happened to mention it to a friend who implored me to first go and see Dr. Jeri. Her words to me were, “Mike please don’t have surgery until you first meet with Dr. Jeri and see what she has to say. Dr. Jeri has done so much for me and many others I know. We call her the Miracle Worker.”

Somewhat reluctantly I agreed to make an appointment with Dr. Jeri. I was looking forward to the surgery because I was looking so forward to having full use of my arm again and going to see another chiropractor just sounded like I was wasting my time. (The Chiro I had previously seen in Elk Grove actually told me he’d rather not work on me due to the spinal nerve issues, which were so apparent.)

That day I called Capital Chiro and made a next day appointment with Dr. Jeri. I was fully equipped with an x-ray and an MRI scan in hand. We met and she gave me a full evaluation, along with her own x-rays that she took of me right in her office. I was impressed when she told me that over the weekend she would study both the MRI and the new x-rays she took and asked me to come back on Monday.

When I came back, she had a long counsel with me and explained very plainly to me the trouble that was going on in my neck and lower back. She said, “Mike you’re pretty messed up, but I do believe I can help you.”

I started seeing her everyday for about two weeks and then every other day for several months and I remember coming into her office one day in October ’05, and I was singing songs of praise as I described to both her and Beth how I could finally feel muscle soreness in my right bicep and I truly believed I was on the path for a full recovery. (Until that time, I could never feel that my right upper arm or shoulder were ever doing any work)

I can now say that my strength level in my right side is 90% or better and that I am a “True Believer” in the practices of Capital Chiropractic.

Thanks again Dr. Jeri.”
