It is common to hear people say that a herniated lumbar disc can be reset by massage. In fact, this is a very unscientific and irresponsible statement. When the annulus fibrosus is not ruptured and the lumbar disc protrudes in a bulging fashion, the spine is properly repositioned and the protruding tissue can be returned to the intervertebral space. Traction therapy can reduce the pressure within the intervertebral space, and at the same time strengthen the posterior longitudinal ligament and other pressure on the herniated material, forcing it back into the intervertebral space. However, after the annulus fibrosus has ruptured, it is impossible to reset the herniated lumbar disc through manipulative therapy. In this phase of the patient’s manipulative massage treatment, if not handled properly, it may also aggravate the disease. Therefore, do not be gullible to the deception of some people.
