PROTRUDING DISC RECOVERY

WHAT TO EXPECT

WHAT IS A HERNIATED DISC

Discs cushion the spine. Herniation happens when the soft center leaks, pressing nerves and causing pain.

COMMON CAUSES

Aging, injury, lifting wrong, genetics, and repetitive strain increase risk of herniation.

TYPES OF HERNIATION

Bulging, herniated, ruptured, protrusion, and extrusion. Severity affects pain and treatment.

COMMON LOCATIONS & SYMPTOMS

Lumbar: lower back, sciatica. Cervical: neck, arm pain. Thoracic: mid-back, torso discomfort.

LOOK AT THE BLOG

RECOVERY TIMELINES

Mild: weeks. Moderate: 6-12 weeks. Severe: months, sometimes surgery. Healing varies by age and health.

CONSERVATIVE TREATMENTS

Physical therapy, posture, rest, medications, gentle exercises. Many recover without surgery.

SIGNS OF HEALING & RED FLAGS

Less pain, more movement, fewer spasms. Seek help if numbness, weakness, or bladder issues appear.
