Degenerative Disc Disease Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Can an MRI change from worse to better for a degenerative disc protrusion by doing nothing?

85% of herniated discs resolve, go away, or improve by themselves naturally over time. Disc degeneration does not go away. The MRI is what we use to "see" these conditions.
