REDUCING AN INTERVERTEBRAL HERNIA WITHOUT SURGERY
In the neck, right or left arm with a hernia in the cervical spine
Decreased skin sensitivity (numbness)
Muscle weakness and motor disorders (for example, paresis of the foot)
In the lower back and legs with a hernia in the lumbar spine
Disorders of the pelvic organs (with lumbar hernia)
Herniated disc is a very common disease. Pain is the main sign of this ailment. The main symptoms of hernia:
Causes of the disease?
Over the course of a lifetime, the disc wears out, ages prematurely and becomes less resistant to all kinds of stress. Scientifically, this is called degenerative changes in the disc. It is important to know that heredity, smoking, impaired disc nutrition and excessive load increase the likelihood of the degeneration process and therefore possible disc damage and herniation.
- Smoking
- Heredity
- A predisposition to accelerated disc ageing can be passed on from ancestors to descendants at a genetic level.
If the external load exceeds the strength of the disc, it causes microcracks and increases the chance of a herniated disc. Damage can be caused by, for example, sudden movements, lifting heavy weights and professional sports.
Excessive load
There are no blood vessels in the disc and all the necessary nutrition seeps into it from the vertebrae. This happens when the disc is compressed rhythmically while walking.
If a person doesn't walk much - for example, due to office work - the necessary nutrients are insufficient and the disc cells begin to die. This is degeneration, in which the fibrous ring becomes less elastic and its strength decreases.

3 treatment options for herniated disc
Without surgery
Quick recording via messenger
The intervertebral hernia is removed to relieve nerve root compression. This is the fastest and also the riskiest method of treatment. Surgery does not always relieve a person of pain and does not prevent recurrences. The option of surgical treatment should only be considered in extreme cases.
Surgery
This is a complex conservative treatment aimed not only at reducing pain, but also at reducing the size or completely eliminating an intervertebral herniation of the disc. The method began to develop relatively recently, but it has already become an alternative to the usual choice between surgery and prolonged pain relief. The Tkachev Epifanov Clinic is the first in Russia to use it in the treatment of patients.
Modulated herniated disc resorption
Its aim is to reduce inflammation in the herniated disc area with the help of a combination of procedures and medication. This method is more of a symptomatic therapy: it can temporarily reduce pain, but it does not change the condition of the intervertebral disc and does not eliminate the hernia.
Conservative treatment
What is an intervertebral hernia resorption?
In medicine, the term 'resorption' refers to the dissolution of something: e.g. a hernia, bone tissue, etc. How does it happen? When a hernia occurs, the body perceives it as an intervertebral disc wound (similar to a cut on your finger, for example) and begins the healing process. Inflammation occurs around the hernia. Nerve endings and blood vessels gradually grow into it, through which macrophage cells enter the hernia. They dissolve it, so that eventually the hernia can shrink or disappear completely.
Resorption for a herniated disc is a normal healing process
Probability of conventional and modulated resorption

On average, treatment consists of 2-3 courses of 12 procedures each. Each treatment is followed by a break of 1.5-3 months, during which the patient is observed by the attending physician and, if necessary, undergoes a second MRI scan.
Based on experience and clinical data, the Tkachev-Epifanov method reduces the duration of resorption by half and sometimes three times and increases the treatment success rate to 94%. The average time to hernia reduction (resorption) in the clinic is 4-6 months.

Long-term use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
Older age, which slows down self-healing and regeneration processes
Additional traumatisation of the disc in the acute period: sports activities, massage, etc.
The use of medical drug blockades with hormonal drugs not only significantly extends the time of resorption, but also greatly reduces its likelihood.
