Physical therapy can be beneficial in managing the symptoms and improving function for individuals with a herniated disc. While physical therapy cannot directly "heal" a herniated disc, it can help alleviate pain, strengthen surrounding muscles, improve flexibility, and enhance overall spinal health. It is important to work closely with a physical therapist to develop a personalized treatment plan that suits your specific needs.
