🏀You can return successfully from disc injuries with or without surgery.

When the health of the nerve is severely threatened, this warrants surgery.

In other cases, the decision is more gray.

There are many athletes who have disc injuries and they are asymptomatic.

There are many athletes who return to full function with disc injuries treated conservatively.

In the professional sports world, most of the time you get surgery… This is because we like to fast-track healing AND treat symptoms 👎🏽.

With or without surgery, you can successfully come back and compete at a high level in most cases.

In ALL cases with disc injuries, you shouldn’t rush the process to return to sport. Your disc needs time to heal appropriately and if you rush yourself back, this puts you at risk for repeat injuries or additional surgeries.

This happened in the Michael Porter Jr. case and if I’m being honest, his injury was mismanaged at MIZZOU.

He continued to have adjustments by different chiros and therapists. You should not be seeking care from anybody and everybody. You need to build rapport with select specialists, consistently because this way they are able to learn your body.

It was reported a therapist made his injury worse at MIZZOU which led to his first surgery. This may have not been the therapist’s fault, MPJ could have had so many different adjustments that the therapist happened to be the unlucky one to cause the injury.

At MIZZOU they should have never let him return at 50% after the surgery! Not even able to really elevate on the left leg. That’s BS 😤

But I understand it was all about making it to the league….
