In the past, it was believed that once a patient acquired a herniated disc, it was permanent. However, recent research with MRI and CT outcome studies has documented that this is fallacy. Herniated discs in the cervical and lumbar spine have been shown to not only reduce in size after a period of conservative care, but in many cases regress and disappear upon reimaging.

No two hernias are identical !

The treatment of the herniated disc is very complex because of the individualized nature of pain or symptoms for each patient. A treatment option that relieves the pain for one patient may not work for another. However, working with one or more types of specialists of the spine, patients may find the best combination of treatment options that will relieve their pain. Thus, they can avoid surgery.
