A member asked:
L5-s1 herniation associated with an annular tear and producing impingement upon left ventral portion of the thecal sac. can i get better, if yes how?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Conservative measure: Not every patient with a disc herniation needs surgery, in fact most do not. Patients can opt to exhaust conservative measures such as physical therapy, chiropractic care, acupuncture, rest, ice or heat, pain medications, activity modification and lumbar epidural steroid injections
