Yes, physical therapy can help with a disc hernia by reducing pain, improving mobility, and strengthening the muscles that support your spine
Yes it can. Also, don't get too caught up on the tissue diagnosis. You can have from a disc herniation or you may not. Many people walk around with disc herniations and feel no pain. You may yourself have moments of no pain even though you have a herniation. Find a good therapist to help you recover from your disc hernation. As long as you have no motor weakness, changes in walking, and changes in bladder and bowel function, most people respond well to conservative care Daniel Prata PT, DPT, COMT Physical Therapist Doctor of Physical Therapy Certified Orthopedic Manual Therapist Forward Motion Physical Therapy<http://www.forwardmotionphysio.com/> 1111 Clifton Avenue Suite 101 Clifton, NJ 07013 Phone: 973.400.3730 Fax: 973.400.3731 Web: www.ForwardMotionPhysio.com<http://www.forwardmotionphysio.com/> Facebook:www.facebook.com/ForwardMotionPhysio<http://www.facebook.com/ForwardMotionPhysio> Forward Motion PT<http://www.facebook.com/FMPT2> 167 Newark Pompton Tpke Pequannock, NJ 07440 Phone: 973.987.3310 Fax: 973.987.3312 Facebook: www.facebook.com/FMPT2<http://www.facebook.com/FMPT2> [cid:d320b6df-b364-40a2-b196-a7323dab3a10]
