Discs heal slowly. That’s not a flaw — it’s biology.
Because discs have limited blood supply, healing depends on:
- Reducing internal disc pressure
- Improving nutrient diffusion
- Allowing time for remodeling
Surgery bypasses this process. In many cases, it permanently alters spinal mechanics, which is why re-herniation and adjacent segment degeneration are well-documented long-term risks.
This is why conservative care is often the first and best approach — when done correctly and with proper diagnosis.
Not every disc problem needs surgery — but every disc problem needs proper evaluation.
