Having chronic back pain can have a major negative effect on someone’s abilities to do daily, routine tasks.  If you have been to your doctor and have been diagnosed that you have a herniated disc, there are a number of things you want to do to eliminate pain and discomfort at your earliest convenience.   You might need epidural steroid injections to help you deal with any pain you are experiencing.

Most doctors will recommend 6 to 12 weeks of physical therapy. What is very promising is that as many as 85% of people with a diagnosed her new desk can actually experience successful treatment without the need to have any surgery.
