Supervised care: All spinal disc herniations do not need surgery, disc may herniate ( move to spinal canal ) and cause permanent damage, due to this reason you must be under care of spine specialist (of any specialty ) , will prescribe special exercises, local treatments and weight control avoids surgery.

Integrative care: A herniated lumbardisc can cause back pain as well as foot pain by physically pressing on the nerves that travel to the foot and by irritating them through the extrusion of pro-inflammatory disc materials. Physical therapy and other conservative measures, including medication management, are considered first line treatment. If these fail, your physician may recommend epidural steroid injections.
