“All musculoskeletal conditions must be viewed within a more comprehensive framework that takes account of biomedical issues and includes how patients perceive their injuries, their disabilities, their pain, and how they make sense of what is happening to them. The words we (and our patients) use are crucial to this more comprehensive view.”⠀⠀

Great news confirming that surgery is not the main treatment for disc bulges

TWO-THIRDS OF HERNIATED DISCS HEAL ON THEIR OWN! - RESULTS FROM A RECENT META-ANALYSIS

Too many people think that once you have a disc herniation (or disc bulge), that you’ve got it for life. Well, a recent meta-analysis has shown that 2/3 of disc bulges spontaneously heal on their own! Many of them within a few months too, not years. 😱

Conclusion from the paper: “Because the overall incidence of disc de-herniation is now 66.66% according to our results, conservative treatment may become the first choice of treatment for LDH.”
