Has Anyone With Osteoporosis Or Osteopenia Undergone Chiropractic Treatment?

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
New Britain, CT

An MRI of my spine shows that I have bulging discs in my lower back. This is causing me to have a good deal of difficulty walking, which is greatly impacting my ability to perform and enjoy day-to-day activities. I’m wondering if anyone in this group has tried chiropractic treatment for decompression of the spine. (I have been diagnosed with osteopenia and have declined to take medication for this condition.)

A MyOsteoTeam Member

I have severe osteoarthritis along with the osteopenia so the chiropractor will not touch my spine
