A member asked:
Can physical therapy reverse the nucleus that's started to come out of the c6/c7 disc or would that require surgery, and if so, what type of surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
PT will help: with pain; however, if you have a protruding disc this does not require surgery unless it is close to or impinging your spinal cord.
