What Painkillers Are Good For Herniated Discs?

Over-the-counter painkillers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help reduce inflammation and ease discomfort, especially in the early stages of a herniated disc. However, painkillers only provide temporary relief, they don’t correct the cause of the problem. Chiropractic adjustments and decompression therapy address the pressure that’s irritating the nerve, providing long-term healing. Use medication for short-term comfort, but rely on movement and alignment for lasting recovery.
