A member asked:

Could lower back disc slip be cured fully?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Most disc herniations heal with conservative care. Once they have healed, there still may be changes seen in future imaging. However, if it is not symptomatic, there is no reason that you cannot resume normal activities. Check out spine-health.Com.
