Healing A Herniated Disc

Yes. it is a surprise to many, and despite what you may have heard before, it is very possible to heal a herniated disc, without drugs or surgery.

Yes of course, that is heal, something that invasive surgery and long-term physical therapy have repeatedly failed to do.

The reason being, that almost all doctors, chiropractors, surgeons and physical therapists premise their treatment on the diagnosis results which only show the condition i.e., herniated disc, but those results do not go to the cause of why the disc is herniated.

So, you have the pain, and the cause of the pain is the herniated disc AND behind the herniated disc is something, the cause, that made your disc herniate, do you see? This is a classic case of a cause behind the cause, no wonder the professionals miss it.

Once you do understand that something or some things have caused your disc to herniate, to  slip, to  bulge or otherwise become dysfunctional, you will be able to address that cause and choose alternative treatment options that will,  A) diminish the pain, B) correct the causative factor or factors and thus get herniated disc healing and C) prevent the disc from herniating again.

Herniated Disc Causes

Many terms are used to express a “herniated disc”, such as a slipped disc, a prolapsed disc, a bulging disc, a ruptured disc, or even degenerative disc disease, they are all essentially the same thing, meaning a herniated disc.

Technically, a herniated disc occurs when the outermost part of the disc begins to weaken and the inner soft part starts to press outward. Most people don’t even know they have a herniated disc until the herniation touches the nerve, thus causing you nerve pain, that you call back pain.

Now, pay attention,, numerous studies have proven that you can have a herniated disc and NOT have pain, and experts like Dr.John Sarno do question whether herniated discs are the cause of most of the back pain.

The  most common herniated disc causes  are 1) trauma and 2) muscle imbalances. Hot Dog!, you will not hear that from a doctor, because they are only taught diseases and symptoms, while causes are ignored.

The muscle imbalances are also referred to as  postural dysfunctions. These dysfunctions put abnormal pressure on the disc that  causes increased wear and tear over time. Inevitably, the weak spot will give way and make contact with the nerve, and that is what brings you nerve pain.

A very critical factor to understand about herniated discs is that, barring trauma, they do not happen overnight. You may become symptomatic very quickly, but it takes a long time for conditions to be right for the nerve to be put under enough pressure to cause you back pain. However, you will find that herniated disc healing is possible and much faster.

And even if the herniation is a result of trauma or accident, the treatment objective should be the same — to reduce pain first and then promote herniated disc healing, by going to the cause behind the cause.

Disappearing  Symptoms Of A Herniated Disc

You should know that just because you have a herniated disc, does not mean it is causing your pain. In fact, it has been proven that many people live their entire life with herniated discs and never know it at all.

That is important for you to know, so you stop being afraid of that diagnosis or symptom. Once you understand that herniated discs are not going to kill you and may in fact not even be hurting you, you will then easily release your fear based stress and anxiety about them.

Otherwise, that fear and stress is a major contributor to back pain in a lot of people.

A Model For Healing Herniated Disc

You will note that all surgical procedures for a herniated disc,  have two main objectives, to take pressure off the nerve and to stabilize the joints. But these very rarely achieve the objectives if at all,  because most  of the mainstream treatments stop at the symptoms of the problem and never go to the cause, so the problem remains.

As for instance, even if you surgically remove a piece of the disc that is putting pressure on the nerve, the same muscles imbalances and dysfunctions that caused the disc to herniate, do still exist and they will continue to place that strain on your muscles, spine and discs, it matters not how many times herniated disc surgery is carried out.

Herniated Disc Surgery Failure

That is precisely  why so many people who have surgeries end up having multiples of them without any herniated disc healing, because surgery does NOT do anything to address the imbalances, the real causes, that are creating the dysfunctions, which lead to disc herniation.

A herniated disc is a physical problem, and so it requires as a must, a physical solution at the root cause, and therefore, there is no need for surgery or years of enduring back pain to correct a problem that is so easy to fix, if you only knew the cause and exactly how to re-balance the specific muscles.

Herniated Disc Heal Naturally

The proper natural model,  for effective herniated disc healing  and preventive maintenance of your discs, has a number of very simple factors. One of which, requires that you must consume sufficient water every single day.

Here is the reason why, your discs are composed of about 71% water, and lack of water in the discs causes a narrowing of the space between vertebrae and eventual compression of the spine and the spinal nerves, and that in turn causes you pain. Drinking 7 to 10 glasses of water each day will do health wonders for your discs and for your entire body system. You cannot do without it.

The other factors to herniated disc healing include monitoring  your standing, sitting and sleeping postures, and yes as well as nutrition.

Take it or leave it, improper posture can cause compression of vertebrae and nerves and over time, not right away, but over time, causes muscle imbalances, one of the root causes of herniated discs.

Your physical posture is so critical in terms of correction and prevention, and keeping very close tabs on your negative emotions will go a long way to helping you maintain a healthy posture, that healing herniated disc is a breeze.
