Common questions

How fast is recovery after microdiscectomy?
Many people walk the same day and return to desk work within one to two weeks. Full recovery, including lifting and sports, commonly takes six to twelve weeks with your surgeon's clearance.
Can the disc herniate again?
Yes, a re-herniation at the same level is possible in a minority of patients. Following lifting restrictions and building core strength in recovery may help lower the risk; your surgeon will advise.
Do herniated discs always need surgery?
No, most improve over weeks to months with non-surgical care such as physical therapy and medication. Surgery is typically considered for persistent severe pain, progressive weakness, or symptoms that fail conservative treatment.
