About the Condition

What It Is & Why It Happens

A 'slipped disc' sounds frightening — but the natural history is overwhelmingly positive. Most herniated discs reduce in size on follow-up MRI within 6–12 months.

Our job is to control pain, restore function, and protect the disc as it heals — without rushing to surgery for most patients.

Recovery outlook: Most cases dramatically improve in 8–12 weeks. Follow-up MRI is rarely needed.

Common Causes

  • Lifting with poor mechanics
  • Long periods of sitting
  • Sudden twist-and-lift
  • Age-related disc changes
  • Genetic factors
  • Repeated bending
