What do you do to correct a disc extrusion in the back.?

McKenzie Method: Robin mckenzie is a renowned physical therapist. In "treat your own back" he theorizes about the cause of extrusions and what to do. Confirm the diagnosis and see a physical therapist trained in his methods. Generally, an extrusion is posterior. Back extension using a modified "cobra" yoga pose and limiting flexion promotes healing. When seated, use of a lumbar roll maintains extension.

Usually time heals: 90% of disc herniations including extrusions heal over time without surgery. One study looked at mris in people with symptomatic disc herniations & then repeated a MRI 6 months later & the disc herniation was no longer present or significantly reduced in size. For most, it is not only the actual compression of the nerve by the disc, but the inflammation caused by the herniation that resolves.
