Description
Zhou Zhang and co-authors film a slipped disc melt away without surgery, in work published in 2026. A man aged thirty-three came in with sharp back pain and leg pain down one side. Scans showed a disc at the lower back had burst and a free chunk had broken off, ringed by a bright rim sign.
He refused standard pain drugs and chose a sixteen-week plan of acupuncture plus a classic herbal brew. Five scans tracked the chunk as it shrank to nothing over four months. Pain scores fell from high to zero, and function scores soared. Five months later the gain held. The authors urge trials to split drug help from plain healing.
