herinated disc

I have a herniated disc can anyone tell me what I can expect from Physical therapy? And any advice would be greatly appreciated I had a fall at wok and hurt my back and also broke my arm. I will have surgery on my arm tomorrow and then start with Phy therapist for my back?

I was just hoping to get others experience with a  herniated disc. I started Phy Therapy and its been hard but I am doing my exercises which is hard because I also have broken arm. I had a fall and broke my arm and also injured my back.

Hi there!

Physiotherapy for back aims at strengthening of the back muscles and would help in mild-moderate cases of disc herniation. It is best advised to discuss the expected prognosis in detail with your treating doctor.
Hope this is helpful.

Take care!
