Surprisingly, that isn't always true. In this video, I explain why larger disc extrusions and sequestrations often have a greater tendency to shrink naturally than smaller contained disc protrusions. We discuss: • The different types of disc herniation • How the body can remove herniated disc material naturally • The role of inflammation and macrophages • Why symptoms often improve before MRI scans change • When surgery is still the best option • Why MRI size alone should never determine treatment decisions The key message is that a large disc herniation does not automatically mean a poor outcome. The natural biology of disc resorption is one of the reasons many patients recover without surgery. There are multiple professionals (surgeons, physiotherapists, chiropractors, osteopaths and more) who treat back and spine problems. But often they work independent of each other and few patients have someone taking responsibility of overall oversight of care in a team. I started my practice to bring all professionals of spine care together under my direction as a surgeon to provide spine care that gets results. TOTAL SPINE CARE THAT GETS RESULTS!
