Can a herniated lumbar vertebra reset itself?

Lumbar spine herniation is caused by trauma, degenerative lesions of lumbar intervertebral discs, etc., and usually cannot be reset by oneself. When the lumbar intervertebral disc degenerates, the annulus fibrosus will rupture during excessive lumbar movement or external force, resulting in the nucleus pulposus protruding from the ruptured annulus fibrosus to the side or the back, compressing the spinal nerve root or the dural sac, resulting in lumbar pain as well as numbness and weakness of both lower limbs. Under normal circumstances, the annulus fibrosus cannot be touched by manual reset, and the broken annulus fibrosus cannot be repaired. Currently, modern medicine believes that degenerative lesions of the intervertebral discs are dehydrating lesions, which are irreversible to a certain extent. Some patients feel symptomatic relief after manipulative repositioning because it relieves disorders of the small joints of the lumbar spine. If the vertebral herniation is caused by trauma, prompt treatment is required, with conservative internal fixation or surgery depending on the injury. If the diagnosis of lumbar disc herniation is confirmed, early standardized treatment is recommended to reduce the adverse effects of the disease.
