Questions

Herniated Disc FAQs

Can a herniated disc heal without surgery?

Yes, many herniated discs can heal with conservative treatment like chiropractic care and spinal decompression. Studies show that most patients improve significantly within 6-12 weeks of non-surgical treatment.

How does spinal decompression help herniated discs?

Spinal decompression creates negative pressure within the disc, which can help retract herniated material back into the disc. It also promotes nutrient flow to the disc for healing.

How long does treatment take?

Treatment duration varies based on severity. Most patients see improvement within 4-6 weeks. A typical treatment plan includes multiple decompression sessions combined with chiropractic adjustments.
