A herniated disc in the spine often resolves on its own in 6 months. Specific and individualized physical therapy can decrease the pain, help it heal faster by taking pressure off the disc, and prevent recurrence of the disc herniation. Herniated discs causing significant weakness, or bowel and bladder dysfunction may require emergency surgery. Herniated discs causing significant pain or lasting more than 6 months can be corrected surgically. Please see your doctor for further discussion of treatment options and indications. If you are overweight, then weight loss due to exercise can also prevent recurrence of the herniated disc. However, exercise in general will not heal a herniated disc. Bi-Ying Yeh, MD
