Research study on spinal manipulation for cervical disc herniation

Some people are concerned about chiropractic treatment of disc herniation. I treat many patients with disc herniation in my office. Here are impressive results in a new study from the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics on chiropractic manipulation (adjustments) on patients with MRI documented disc herniations.
At 2 weeks, 55.3% were “improved,” 68.9% at 1 month and 85.7% at 3 months.
Has anyone had chiropractic treatment for a disc herniation?
