At this time no -- not directly. There has been research and a few proto-products out there that act as synthetic disks. So far they aren't perfected, but there's definitely work progressing on these.
You can't really reverse it per se because it is a drying out or decaying of the disc. As we get older we all may have some form of this..ie that is one reason why we get shorter and hunched over as we age, the disc in b/w our vertebrae shrink. Things you can do though is maintain a healthy weight, take a vitamin, calcium and Vitamin D supplement, exercise, back stretching exercises, Advil or Tylenol as directed and a biggy is don't smoke!

How do you recover from spinal disc desiccation?
Talk to your doctor about getting a round of cortical steroids. This will reduce inflammation and pain around the disc. Also, a strict regimen of core exercises, like planks, leg lifts, crunches, as well as low weight kettlebell deadlifts strengthens the back and core and supports the spine. Also, try to stand as much as possible and do a lot of walking. I have found that sitting down is what sets off my back pain and that when I stay upright, I have very little pain.

What is spinal dessication?
Spinal desiccation is the process by which the discs of the spinal column die or develop atrophy. This causes considerable discomfort due to the reduced elasticity and direct contact between the discs.
Does a disc bulge and desiccation affect you for life?
A disk bulge or "bulging disk" is rather common in adults, and often with no symptoms. However, when a bulging disk herniates (opens), it leaks the cushioning material that is in the disk. When this occurs, the spinal cord can become trapped between degenerating bones surrounding the spinal column. As far as how it affects you "for life", if the condition can be surgically corrected, the person may still have pain and limited mobility. Without surgery, the condition can cause the spinal cord to become inflamed and irritated, resulting in other problems such as neuropathy (burning or weird pain symptoms) or tremors. At the extreme, complete herniations can cause the spinal cord to have interrupted nerve communication and could in some cases proceed to paralysis.
What is a sequestered disk?
