Can A Herniated Disc Heal On Its Own – Picture

The answer to this question is that while it is true that the symptoms of a disc herniation can go away on its own without any intervention but that does not in any way mean that the disc herniation has healed or resolved. Disc herniation does not heal on its own but there are body processes that cause the size of the herniated fragment to reduce such that the herniated fragment no longer compresses or irritates nearby nerve roots resulting in resolution of the symptoms.
