The duration of treatment for disc herniation can vary depending on the severity of the condition, individual factors, and the chosen treatment approach. In many cases, conservative treatments are initially recommended and may take several weeks to months to show improvement. These treatments often include rest, physical therapy, pain medication, and other non-invasive measures.

If conservative methods do not provide relief or if the herniation is severe, more invasive interventions may be considered. This could include injections or in some cases, surgery.

It's important to consult with a healthcare professional who will evaluate your specific case and provide personalized recommendations for treatment duration based on your symptoms and medical history.
Usually is within several treatments but we'll have to evaluate you for treatment diagnosis.
