A member asked:
Please can someone tell me how many sessions of physiotherapy are needed for slipped disc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Impossible to say: A true disc herniation may never improve with physical therapy. However, if there is no improvement in 4-6 weeks, then it is unlikely to help.
