According to WebMD, most people suffering from herniated discs don't need surgery. Their symtoms will lessen over time with treatment. Try for a second opinion. Surgery may turn out to be your only permanent solution.

What is more important math or surgery?

Math is more important because without math we couldn't do surgery. I disagree, where do you use math in surgery? Surgery has been done for centuries without math. If you get hurt and need surgery do you call in a mathematician to help with the surgery. I work for a surgery company and I have never seen a mathematician while surgery's are performed.


Will I need surgery for focal disc protrusion left L5 and S1 into the lateral recess compressing the left L5 and the left S1 nerve roots?

USUALLY (note the caps) a herniated disk will retract on its own, releasing pressure on the nerve, and the pain will disappear. this happens about 70% of the time. The disk will then scar in place, and you should not be bothered again. Occasionally a numb area (where the nerve went) will remain after healing.

What is the best cure for a herniated discCan a Chiropractor help fix the problem?

There are several different classifications of herniated discs. Each of these different sub types may have a range of severity. To answer the question literally, no a chiropractor can't "fix" a herniated disc. However, many individuals with herniated discs find great relief of symptoms with chiropractic treatment. This is all dependent on the type of herniation. When the inner material of the disc becomes separated from the disc it's self and becomes lodged in the spinal canal, surgery may be the only option. However, if the herniated portion of the disc is still attached, you may want to consider a less invasive course of treatment. One great option is a chiropractic technique known as Flexion Distraction Technique. The goal of this technique is to decrease decrease the pressure in the disc and therefore help the disc heal it's self.
