Lumbar disc herniations represent a widespread cause of low back and radicular pain, with conservative management standing as the preferred frontline approach. Intriguingly, spontaneous resorption occurs in 60% to 90% of extruded and sequestered discs, heavily driven by macrophage activity and pro-inflammatory cytokines that digest herniated tissue. Consequently, heavy reliance on anti-inflammatory drugs or epidural steroid injections may paradoxically hinder natural healing and disc reabsorption. Clinicians can alternatively introduce targeted nutritional support, utilizing high-dose omega-3 fatty acids, boswellia, curcumin, and systemic enzymes to reduce degenerative damage while preserving neuroprotective pathways. Active clinical management centers on early movement, eliminating excessive sitting, minimizing spinal compressive loads, and curtailing prolonged bed rest. High-velocity low-amplitude manual manipulation remains physiologically safe and effective, alongside Cox flexion distraction and McKenzie directional preference exercises aimed at symptom centralization. Modalities such as mechanical decompression, low-level laser therapy, therapeutic ultrasound, acupuncture, and neuromobilization provide documented short-term pain relief and functional restoration. As acute symptoms subside, rehabilitation must prioritize intrinsic core stability—targeting the transverse abdominis, multifidi, and obliques—to counteract spinal instability and restore functional mobility.
