What's a good herniated disc treatment?

What is an average award or settlement for a herniated disc?
There is no average award or settlement for a herniated disc, because so many different factors are involved. Award amounts will vary depending on whether the cause was negligence or not and what actually happened. A range for a settlement amount for a herniated disc is anywhere from $20,000 to $150,000 or more.
Is herniated disc reversible?
Generally not, as of late 2012. The intervertebral discs do not have a good blood supply, so trying to suture the ripped bits back together after shoving as much of the herniated bits back in as possible just doesn't go well. The area overall doesn't heal quickly, and when it does it is heavy on the scar tissue that can pinch nerves and reduce mobility. The current standard of care is to remove the bits of the disc that fell out of the capsule (the "herniated" part of herniated disc) and then evaluate the joint to see what to do - clean out the rest and let it heal, fuse the joint, etc.
What are some effective strategies for herniated disc prevention?

Is Spinal decompression for bulging disc in neck a good idea?
Non-surgical spinal decompression can be very beneficial is some cases. This involves focused segmental traction of different levels of the spine. The traction alternates its tension in an attempt to create negative pressure within the disc and rehydrate the inner material of the disc. This can work well with herniated discs but is not a good idea with some spinal disorders (like spondylolysis or severe degeneration). If you are considering this therapy you really should speak with a healthcare provider who offers this service to see if you are a good candidate.
