For a 19 year old who received herniated discs from rugby, is it possible to return to playing without surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Depending on the extent and severity of a herniated disc problem, there is always a possibility of a patient returning to their normal level of function while being treated conservatively (without surgical intervention). All the best!
