does a ruptured disc heal
Sure, some fresh injuries might hurt for a short time frame. However, unless there is a definitive neurological link, these will heal and the pain should stop. If not, then there is a good chance that the pain is not due to the herniated disc at all. So, some herniations can heal, some may not. Degeneration never heals. However, statistics show that healing is not needed in order for the back or neck symptoms to resolve.
