Will a bulging disc heal on its own?

Bulging discs do not heal on their own. Bulging discs are mainly caused by aging and dehydration of the disc, and there is no medical method to restore the diseased disc to its normal form. Asymptomatic disc bulge does not require treatment. For symptomatic bulging discs there are usually two types of treatment, namely conservative treatment and surgery. Patients with mild symptoms of bulging disc can take conservative treatment, such as physical therapy, traction, massage, oral medication and other methods. After conservative treatment, if there is no relief or recurrence, patients can consider other treatments, such as high-tech oxidative ablation and percutaneous disc myelotomy and aspiration. During the treatment period, sleep on a hard bed every night in a supine position with a small pillow under the waist, especially when the pain is severe, rest immediately, pay more attention to rest, try to avoid excessive physical labor, and strengthen nutrition. For patients with bulging discs, as long as usually pay more attention to maintenance, reduce the causes of bulging discs, such as sedentary, standing, keep a long time without the onset of disease, can basically reach a normal state.
