Hello, I am a living example of being pain-free from two herniated discs for over 40 years from acupuncture, chiropractic care, stretching and Chinese organic herbs, I opted out of any surgery and pain medications, and focused on a natural active lifestyle, healthy vegetarian diet, and watching my weight. Current CT scans show no more disc herniation - a complete healing of the injury. Dr. Miura

I have seen people get pain free with acupuncture treatment, but I can not say I have had patients get follow up MRI or CT scan that showed it healed tge disc herniation.
Yes. Acupuncture with massage and herbs can help you out gradually. You should get these modalities 2-3 times a week for 4-8 weeks in a row to take care of this problem.
Acupuncture can help with the pain associated with disc herniating including sciatica in the legs. Acupuncture helps to reduce pain and inflammation and promotes blood flow in the area around the needles. Acupuncture can also help relax muscles that may become tense in response to the pain.
