Idea for Encouraging Disc Regeneration & Healing
At the end of 2021, we discovered I had 3 herniated discs in my neck that we causing pain and discomfort in my right arm. I went through spinal decompression therapy and MRI imaging showed good progress along with symptoms disappearing.
Unfortunately, I reinjured the discs around the beginning of 2023 so I had to go through treatment again. Below is a link to the therapy I'm doing, as well as some things I'm trying out at home to encourage healing.
If you are facing similar issues, hopefully, this will provide some ideas for you to test in your own recovery. Make sure to consult your doctor and scour the research for the best specific ways you can heal.
"The case suggests that long-term glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate intake may counteract symptomatic spinal disc degeneration, particularly at an early stage. However, definite proof requires well-conducted clinical trials with these food supplements, in which disc de-/regeneration can be objectively determined by MRI. A number of biochemical reasons (that mechanistically need to be further resolved) explain why these agents may have cartilage structure- and symptom-modifying effects, suggesting their therapeutic efficacy against osteoarthritis in general."
