When I found out I had a herniated disc in my neck I was mostly scared of getting those needle injections in there. I didn't have pain, just numbness in my finger, maybe I did have pain, IDK I don't remember feeling it. Whenever my back hurt I would just do a simple stretch bending and touching the floor. That's how the disc in my neck stopped pinching the nerve too, the day or so before I had to meet with the scary surgeon for the first time. He recommended an inversion table to keep my spine decompressed, I hang upside down on it daily and I don't even experience headaches. I do sit ups on it too while hanging upside down, I like the way it makes my spine feel. But I think it depends on the discs that are fucked, an inversion table can do more damage to someone with other disc problems, I'm not sure I think I read that. But if a doctor doesn't recommend something natural like decompression then that doctor is fucked. I think I got lucky with a good doctor, he also recommended a body building book for weight lifting to help strengthen my back too.
