How Long Does It Take For L4 And L5 To Heal Without Surgery?

Healing the L4-L5 disc naturally can take 3 to 6 months, depending on the severity and your treatment plan. Chiropractic decompression, adjustments, and targeted exercises can speed this process significantly. The disc heals slowly because it has limited blood supply, so motion and alignment are crucial to recovery. With consistent care, many people experience full relief without ever needing surgery.
