Do you know that people suffering from pain due to a herniated disc that occurs for various reasons can be healed without surgery?
The truth is that as the hernia progresses, the regression of the hernia may be faster with non-surgical treatments. The option of surgery is a reality, but it should not be the first method that comes to mind because our body has a structure that can recover itself. You can get better over time by taking the right steps.
The biggest problem of our patients with a herniated disc is that their pain does not respond to treatment immediately. However, it may take time for our patients to respond to manual therapy, exercise programs, electrical muscle strengthening and pain reduction programs, and hot applications that accelerate tissue metabolism (such as hot packs and ultrasound) used in physical therapy and tailored to the individual. In addition, all muscle strengths of the person must be determined one by one, special exercise programs in which the weak ones will be strengthened, posture must be corrected, and exercise practices that he can use throughout his life in the future must be arranged in a way specific to the person's discomfort, under the supervision of a physiotherapist. According to research, healing can be triggered and the hernia can be corrected with personalized exercises and manual therapy applications. Even for advanced back disorders such as lumbar stenosis and canal stenosis, when people who underwent surgery and those who received physical therapy were compared, no difference was observed between the two groups after one year. It has also been determined that ruptured (sequestered) herniated discs regressed by 96%, and herniated discs spread into the canal (extruded) regressed by 70%. Therefore, if our patients strictly comply with physical therapy and rehabilitation programs and are patient in reducing their pain, pain-free and quality years await them. Staying away from unscientific methods, wrong exercises and practices will be the right step for your health.
