Lumbar disc herniations are a common condition that causes back pain and, in some cases, symptoms such as tingling or pain radiating down the legs. 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

A relevant study on this topic was conducted in 2015 and published in Clinical Rehabilitation<\/em>, entitled 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
