A member asked:
Would a torn cervical disk ever heal on its own?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Disc tearing: Torn cervical discs CAN "heal" in that the inflammation from the tear can be calmed and the tear can form some scar tissue. The disc will never be "original equipment" again but the symptoms CAN be resolved on their own. If the tear is associated with a herniation of the disc, the chance of this "healing" diminishes, as there is disc (nuclear) material in the tear, preventing healing.
