After an MRI I was told I have 2 bulging disks and a pinched nerve in the cervical spine. (Think 4 and 5) Anyway I was lucky because I went to this superb chiropractor a few times and I was fine. Now about three years since they must have settled back again and one of the pains is back. Am making an appointment Monday.

If you're nerve canals are collapsing pushing on your vertebrae which is pinching your nerves a chiropractor will not fix that type of situation. Only if it's an alignment situation can a chiropractor help but if it's collapsed the nerve canals you got to get it tested with an MRI with contrast. If you're asking for help this is what I personally would advise but I'm not a doctor as I'm only a patient that has gone through what you're going through.
@peach414144 Glad to hear this as a good chiropractor will help . Hope you get as good as before . When I fractured my back at work I thought it just slipped out and drove to see my chiropractor he said you have a fracture so he sent my into the hospital E.R. for xray my other Dr. took over then . So if there is a problem he cant fix he will be honest with you . Let me know how your feeling then . Make sure you tell him as you did here .

You probably have either a herniated disc or the nerve canal has collapsed and therefore you need a laminectomy and possibly a fusion. Watch out for injections and surgery as you can get heart condition called AA or arachnoiditis and let's hope you don't have it.
