The Miraculous Healing Disc

If you’ve ever had lower back pain and been diagnosed by a health care professional as having a disc related injury such as a disc bulge or protrusion, you’ve probably felt that sinking feeling in your gut and immediately started asking yourself questions like “will I have this for the rest of my life?” or “will I need to have surgery for this?”. We have long known that much like an ankle sprain or any other injury discs will heal themselves spontaneously. A recent meta-analysis showed that in the United Kingdom 82.94% of patients who had disc herniation spontaneously reabsorbed without surgery.

It's time that we stop being so fearful of lower back injuries and started realising how strong and stable our spines are.
