The first treatment for herniated discs is always non surgical. This hold true as long as there is no loss of bowel or bladder control. If a surgeon recommends surgery before trying out any other therapies, you need to get a new physician.
Generally the pain can be moderate/severe during an acute episode of disc herniation and last anywhere from 2-10 days. The majority of individuals will improve without any aggressive treatment. In most cases, this simply means rest and pain control. Gradual decrease in pain will occur over the next two months
