Herniated disc treatment without surgery

A lumbar or cervical herniated disc can usually be treated without surgery. A specialist assesses your MRI and prescribes decompression, manual therapy and laser.

Treatment

How we treat a herniated disc without surgery

We build your plan from your MRI and examination. Each visit includes 3–4 procedures chosen by the specialist, at the same price.

1

MRI assessment

Position and size of the herniation and the affected nerve root, assessed in seconds.

2

Spinal decompression

Computer-controlled traction reduces pressure on the disc and nerve. Direction and force are set from your MRI.

3

Manual therapy and laser

Stiff segments are mobilised, and BTL laser reduces inflammation and pain.

4

Exercises

Deep back muscles are strengthened to help prevent a recurrence.

Surgery or not?

Most people don't need surgery

Most herniated discs are treated conservatively, and symptoms ease within weeks or months. Surgery, including laser surgery, is considered when there are neurological deficits or several months of treatment have not helped.

If your MRI and examination show that you need a surgeon's opinion, we will tell you straight away. After surgery, we help you recover.

FAQ

Common questions about herniated discs

Does a herniated disc heal without surgery?

In most cases, yes. Most herniated discs are treated conservatively, and symptoms ease within weeks or months. Surgery is considered when there are neurological deficits or treatment does not help.

Can a herniated disc be treated without an MRI?

We almost always start treatment only after assessing an MRI: it shows the exact position and size of the herniation. If you have no MRI, we will tell you where to get one.

Is decompression painful?

No. You feel a gentle stretch. The force is increased gradually, and the procedure can be stopped at any time.

Can I exercise with a herniated disc?

During the acute phase, avoid jumping, running and lifting weights. We will choose suitable exercises for your condition.
