Anyone can make a situation worse... just ask all the people that get screwed up by doctors. More people are killed in hospitals every year due to mistakes than were killed in the entire Viet-Nam conflict. You have to find a chiro that is good. We could begin a new thread just on that subject but asking around usually works.
And usually the disk is pressing on a nerve because the vertebrae is pressing on the disk and so on and so forth. This all works together as the disks cushion the vertabrae. A problem with a disk is because the vertebrae are out of line, usually caused by injury or repeated muscle spasms pulling them out of line. It would be unusual for something external to target a disk. Hope that all makes sense.
I really got into how this works as a result of problems I had yeas ago.
