Ways to Heal a Herniated Disc Without Surgery

There are several ways that our bodies can heal a herniation without surgery. Along with the natural responses, it helps to have assistance from the outside, via our treatment options, to aid the body in healing.

Ways the body heals a herniated disc include:

• Absorption of water: the herniated portion of the disc contains water; over time this water will be absorbed by the body which reduces the size of the segment. Once reduced in size, the nerves around the herniation are no longer affected by the fragment’s pressure.
• Immune response: Sometimes, the body will recognize the herniated portion of the disc as foreign material and will attack it, reducing its size and eliminating the inflammatory proteins.
• Natural disc mechanics: Although it is debated, there are claims that with the correct and consistent exercises, the herniation will move inward and away from the spinal nerves.

Aiding in the above body responses, there are things that doctors, pain management specialists and physical therapists can do to assist in healing and reduce pain symptoms. Our Advanced Disc Restoration™ process utilizes a combination of treatments to help the body heal itself, giving it water, oxygen and nutrients to create a naturally healing environment.

Pain management for herniated disc pressure and surrounding inflammation may include:

• Physical therapy
• Traction treatments
• Massage
• Chiropractic care
• Homeopathic medicines
• Topical treatments

Although there are options for pain management and treatment, your safest and best bet is to be evaluated by our team, including an examination by Dr. George Papadopoulos.
