br br Dr. Guevara br 678-223-3900 br br If you're suffering from a herniated disc, be aware that surgery is not the only answer to your problem. In about 80 of the cases surgery is not necessary. br br McKenzie (extension) exercises are recommended in the case of a disc herniation because of a process called Centralization where extension movements push the herniated portion back into its original place. br br Trying these exercises is always a good option before going under the knife. Surgery should always be your last resort after everything else has failed.
