Stop blaming old injuries! We often hear people complain about their neck or back pain today because they had a disc bulge years and years ago. Same is true for a car accident years and years ago. But here’s the truth - YOUR BODY WAS MADE TO HEAL.
In most cases, a herniated disc or a disc bulge will heal on its own within four to twelve weeks. Which means, if you had an injury or incident more than 6 months ago, it's probably not the cause of your pain today.
Here are some signs that your herniated disc is healing:
▪ The pain is gradually getting better.
▪ You are able to move more easily.
▪ The numbness or tingling in your legs is starting to go away.
If you are still experiencing signs and / or symptoms 4 to 12 weeks after the initial injury, it’s likely due to not receiving the correct treatment or guidelines. Perhaps it is time to try something new - a new chiropractor, a new exercise routine, a new mobility habit.
