How many days after repositioning a herniated lumbar disc can you get better?

Once a lumbar disc is herniated, it is very difficult to reset, so there is no such thing as “a few days after resetting”. Lumbar disc herniation is a disease in which the pressure on the lumbar intervertebral disc increases, leading to the destruction of the intervertebral disc annulus fibrosus and the protrusion of the nucleus pulposus, which results in lumbar pain, sciatica, and numbness of the lower extremities. Once the nucleus pulposus protrudes from the intervertebral disc, it is very difficult to reset it so that the protruding nucleus pulposus is returned to the intervertebral disc and the normal disc structure is restored. Lumbar disc herniation is mainly treated with non-surgical treatment, and non-surgical treatment is preferred for patients with milder symptoms and shorter duration of the disease. Patients with poor results from non-surgical treatments may consider minimally invasive surgical treatments, such as percutaneous spinal endoscopy, depending on their condition. Patients with severe disease can consider open surgical treatment. If the diagnosis of lumbar disc herniation is confirmed, it is recommended to seek medical treatment for standardized treatment.
