Biological Repairing:  DNA

Perhaps the most amazing option is to use a biological repair to help regenerate the herniated disc into its proper shape.  This is done using growth factor or growth of the cells and the tissues in the area through engineering methods. 

Doctors have found that by injecting the herniated disc in its early stages with growth factor can help to encourage the disc to do its own repair on the cells and avoids other problems.  Generally this must be done within the first stages of deterioration to provide any help to the patient. 

There is a need for additional research here and complications are not known.

These methods can be an amazing option for those that are facing a long term painful situation.  Talk to your doctor about alternative methods for treatment of this condition to find out if they offer them.
