Benefits of an Inflamed Disc | Episode 9

Dr. Grant Elliott with RehabFix Online Low Back Program: Can inflammation be a good thing? Especially for disc herniations? In this episode, we dive deep into the inflammatory process behind larger disc herniations and how inflammation can be quite helpful to the recovery process! Stunting this natural inflammatory process could negatively impact the healing of the disc as we see larger disc herniations resorb at higher rates than smaller disc herniations. This is often misunderstood as many individuals are told the larger the disc herniation the worse it is, or the greater the need for surgery, but this is simply not true! The mechanisms behind why inflammation can be helpful are described in this episode and I hope it can be useful to help you learn more about disc herniation recovery and how you can learn to fix your low back!
