Definitely, if one is patient enough pain from herniated discs will subside with time. In the majority of cases this may take anywhere from 6-16 weeks. Of course, you will need some pain medications for the first few weeks. Once the pain has diminished, one can start physical therapy.
Over time, the herniated disc will shrink and limit compression on the nerves. Shrinkage of the herniated disc can take anywhere from 4-6 weeks. It is important to understand is that regardless of treatment type, spontaneous shrinkage does occur to some degree in all individuals. That is why it is extremely important not to undergo any surgery before this time.
