The short answer to this is yes, but how? 80% of herniated discs heal without surgery and this can be done in a few ways. The first is by using targeted physical therapy movements and stretches to improve core stability and strengthen the supporting muscles to relieve pressure on the spine. We also use the Mckenzie Method to help assess and treat back pain from conditions like a herniated disc. This method emphasis postural correction and focuses on neck and back pain. If therapy doesn’t help, we also offer epidural injections as well at Axis Spine and Orthopedics. These help target the pained area that’s severely inflamed and helps relieve the inflammation and pressure. Surgery is usually the last resort after trying the prior methods, if needing any help with pain related to a herniated disc or anything else please feel free to reach out to Axis Spine and Orthopedics.
