Herniated Disc RepairHerniated disc repair is a concept which has been toyed with in the medical community for many years. Doctors have found it difficult to repair herniated and degenerated discs, although they have certainly approached the problem from multiple angles of attack. Non-surgical methods have worked about as well as surgical methods and do not present the same risks for serious complications, making noninvasive treatments the ideal place to begin when trying to enact disc repair.Non-Surgical Herniated Disc Repair
Of course, it is very possible that given enough time, a
herniated disc
will shrink on its own, without any particular treatment. This is extremely common. However, it is also possible that the disc will not shrink back and may even get worse in some cases. If treatment is sought, the best non-surgical solution for disc repair is certainly non-surgical
spinal decompression.
A jewel among symptomatic treatment options,
spinal decompression for herniated discs
offers the possibility for a real and permanent cure. If treatment is successful, the disc will shrink back to a non-problematic state and will hopefully stay that way for years to come.
Repairing a Herniated Disc with SurgeryHerniated disc surgery is always a risk and may make the condition far worse in many instances. Surgery should only be used as a truly final option for emergencies only. There are simply too many cases of complications and failed disc surgery syndrome to even think about back surgery in any other case profile…The most common disc repair procedures are both minimally invasive and may work for some patients with contained disc herniations. These are the IDET and nucleoplasty techniques, of which I prefer the latter. Any other type of spinal surgery for disc pain is likely to be far more drastic and will seek to remove or replace the disc rather than repair it. Herniated Disc Repair AdviceRemember that most herniated discs are not painful and are mistakenly identified as the true source of suffering in the majority of diagnosed patients. In essence, repair is usually unnecessary, since the disc is not the problem to begin with… Always remember this, especially if you have already tried a plethora of seemingly indicated medical and complementary treatments for your chronic disc pain without success. There is a good chance that you are on a fool’s errand and that herniated disc is coincidental and innocent of any symptomatic expression. Above all else, if you do decide to pursue disc repair treatment, choose your methods and providers carefully, in order to avoid making the condition far worse instead of better…Herniated Disc Repair to Herniated Disc 3/23/10 Revised 7/18/11 |
