Herniated disk: The majority of the time herniated discs will heal on their own if you give them enough time. Physical therapy and inflammatory medications as well as on occasion cortisone injections can be most beneficial to reduce the discomfort as you allow your body to heal itself. If a herniated disc causes enough pain or irritates a nerve badly then surgery can also be employed to remedy the problem.
