Interesting research on disc injuries!!

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1MAv8CMGP5/

Bigger Herniations = Better Healing?! Sounds backwards... but the science supports it.

Your disc can go through 4 stages:
1. Bulge – disc pushes out but wall intact
2. Protrusion – wall weakens, disc presses more
3. Extrusion – disc breaks through wall but stays attached
4. Sequestration – fragment breaks off completely

Most people (and even some doctors) panic when they see a “large herniation” on MRI:
“Oh no… it’s huge. That must be bad.”

But here’s the truth: Evidence shows extruded and sequestered discs (often the bigger ones) actually heal at higher rates.

Research found spontaneous regression happens in:
- Bulges ≈ 13%
- Protrusions ≈ 52%
- Extrusions ≈ 70%
- Sequestrations ≈ 93%

Why? Once the disc material escapes, your body’s immune system recognizes it as foreign, sends in macrophages, and literally absorbs it away.

Bottom line: Your discs are living tissue. They can heal, adapt, and remodel. Don’t let a scary MRI dictate your future.

“Not every tissue that connects structures is the same.” Many people use the terms tendon and ligament interchangeably, but understanding the difference is essential for clinicians, athletes, and rehabilitation professionals. 📚 🔹 Tendon ✅ Connects muscle to bone ✅ Transfers muscular fo...
