CAN A HERNIATED DISC HEAL?
A disc herniation is a cut in the disc that enables the inner material, known as the nucleus, to squeeze out and put pressure on the surrounding ligaments and potentially a nearby nerve. As scary as this sounds, a tear in the disc is like a cut on your knuckle. Can a herniated disc heal? Yes, a herniated disc can recover the same way a cut over a joint does. Because the joint bends, this added stress makes it more difficult to mend than a laceration on your forearm that is not subjected to the tensions of stretching and bending. A cut on your elbow needs extra care of overpressure and avoiding movements that open the cut, but with knowledge, perseverance, and the body’s fantastic healing processes….a cut over a joint heals. A herniation heals in exactly the same manner.
