A member asked:
People tell me that drinking water and supplements will help a spine disc tear to "heal". is it true? asking because i know discs are avascular.thanks

Helpful: As part of an overall nutritional plan, water and supplements may be helpful. Discs are avascular but the outer shell is what needs to heal as the contents of the disc are very inflammatory. Proper physical therapy and the use of cold applications can be helpful.
