Dear Patient, Physical therapy can be helpful for a disc herniation, focusing on exercises to enhance flexibility and strengthen spine-supporting muscles, potentially reducing disc pressure. While beneficial for symptom management, physical therapy may not address the root cause of a disc herniation. Best regards Tsai Chao MD
