When diagnosed, surgery is often considered a solution, but recent studies suggest that spontaneous reabsorption of the herniated disc can occur without the need for surgical intervention, through non-invasive treatments such as osteopathy, physiotherapy and clinical Pilates.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"500\" data-end=\"842\">A relevant study on this topic was conducted in 2015 and published in <em data-start=\"573\" data-end=\"598\">Clinical Rehabilitation<\/em>, entitled <em data-start=\"611\" data-end=\"700\">The probability of spontaneous regression of lumbar herniated disc: a systematic review<\/em>. The aim of this study was to analyse the probability of spontaneous regression of lumbar disc herniations based on a systematic review.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"844\" data-end=\"864\"><strong data-start=\"844\" data-end=\"864\">Summary of the study cited<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"866\" data-end=\"1011\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Objective:<\/span> To determine the probability of spontaneous regression of lumbar disc herniations, distinguishing between the different types of herniations.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1013\" data-end=\"1319\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Methods<\/span> Articles were included that addressed (1) patients with lumbar disc herniation treated conservatively, (2) with at least two imaging evaluations of the lumbar spine, and (3) excluding patients with previous lumbar surgery, spinal infections, tumours, spondylolisthesis or spinal stenosis.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1321\" data-end=\"1422\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Results<\/span> O estudo revelou que a taxa de regress\u00e3o espont\u00e2nea variou conforme o tipo de h\u00e9rnia:\u00a0H\u00e9rnia sequestrada: 96% de probabilidade de regress\u00e3o.

Adicionalmente, a taxa de resolu\u00e7\u00e3o completa foi de 43% para discos sequestrados e 15% para discos extrusados.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"1685\" data-end=\"2075\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Conclusions<\/span> Spontaneous regression of disc herniations can occur without the need for surgical intervention. Patients with sequestered or extruded herniations have a significantly higher probability of spontaneous regression compared to those with protruded herniations. Disc sequestration has a higher rate of complete regression than disc extrusion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 data-start=\"2077\" data-end=\"2102\">The Osteopathic Approach<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"2104\" data-end=\"2499\">Osteopathy has proven effective as a non-invasive treatment for lumbar disc herniations. Through manual techniques, Osteopathy works to improve spinal mobility, reduce pressure on the intervertebral discs, and enhance blood and lymphatic circulation. These factors can help promote the reabsorption of herniated disc material and reduce the pain associated with the condition.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2501\" data-end=\"2669\">It is important to highlight that osteopathy should be part of an integrative model. Thus, osteopathy can be combined with other complementary approaches, such as physiotherapy or clinical Pilates, with the aim of optimising results and supporting the recovery process.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"2501\" data-end=\"2669\">Integrated Approach<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"2501\" data-end=\"2669\">Based on the results obtained in the 2015 study, resorption of lumbar disc herniations is a possibility.<br \/>\nTherefore, non-invasive treatments, such as Osteopathy, Physiotherapy, and Clinical Pilates, can contribute to the recovery process. These approaches can help improve spinal mobility, reduce pressure on the intervertebral discs, and thus assist you throughout the recovery process.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_custom_1680169461443\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a title=\"Osteopath - Physiotherapist David Brand\u00e3o\" href=\"https:\/\/integrativa.pt\/en\/osteopata-fisioterapeuta-david-brandao\/\"><strong>David Brand\u00e3o<\/strong> <\/a>| Osteopath and Physiotherapist<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: right;\">Physiotherapist Card: 3652 | Order of Physiotherapists \/\/ Osteopath Card: C-0031697 | ACSS<\/h6>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner vc_custom_1760519213582\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p><strong>Reference articles<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"10354\" data-end=\"10496\">\n<p data-start=\"55\" data-end=\"273\">Joo, I.
