A disc can repair itself very slowly over time, and with good, proper movement.

All parts of the body repairs itself. Some parts repair itself faster than others. Muscle repair very quickly because of the good blood supply. Intervertebral discs repair very slowly because they have no blood supply. They get their blood supply from the adjacent bone, and it soaks up the nutrients like a sponge. The discs need full working articulation of the joints to soak up the nutrients and squish out the metabolic wastes that build up.

Chiropractic care can help restore the proper movement of the spine by specifically adjusting the segments that are stuck and inflamed.

No. The disk between the vertebra is like a sandwich. It has a filling that we call a disk. If the disk is pushed out a little bit, it is called a budging disk. If it comes out most of the way or all the way, it is a ruptured disk. This is more serious as it can push on the nerves so much so that you will need surgery. The other can sometimes be treated by physical therapy but it can get worse and rupture.
