A member asked:
What is the best treatment option for a 24 year old with a ruptured disk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: The treatment of ruptured or herniated disc consists of of course of conservative care (physical therapy, rest, nsaids, conservative alternative methods). For those that fail that treatment they may be a candidate for an epidural steroid injection. The last resort for patients is a surgical intervention in the form of a discectomy procedure. Visit your local spine surgeon for more information.
