How is a herniated disc treated?

I understand your herniated disc complaint. Please answer a few more questions so I can help you better:

1. How long have you had herniated disc symptoms?

2. Does the pain radiate to your legs or another area?

3. Do you have difficulty with your daily activities?

4. Have you been diagnosed with a herniated disc before? If so, what treatments have you tried?

5. Do you have other current health problems or take any medications regularly?

With this information, I can make more personalized recommendations. In addition, I can list some non-drug and traditional methods that are generally used to treat herniated discs:

1. Rest and Activity Modification: Avoid sudden movements and heavy lifting.

2. Physical Therapy and Exercise: Exercises that strengthen the lumbar region and physical therapy under the supervision of a doctor.

3. Hot or Cold Application: Applying ice or a hot water bag to the painful area.

4. Massage and Manual Therapy: Massage or manual therapy performed by a trained therapist.

5. Yoga and Pilates: When done with the right techniques, it can strengthen the back and increase flexibility.

If your herniated disc symptoms are serious or affect your daily life, be sure to consult a specialist. Now, I will determine the possible branch you need to visit. One moment, please.
