Background Context: Symptomatic lumbar disc herniations (LDH) are very common. LDH resorption may occur by a "self-healing" process, however this phenomenon remains poorly understood. By most guidelines, if LDH remains symptomatic after 3 months and conservative management fails, surgical intervention may be an option.
