Question: Can a slipped disc be cured permanently?

Answer: While the probability of relapse after surgery is low, there is no guarantee your slipped disc will not recur.
Possible recurrence depends on a number of factors, such as the:
-Likelihood of more disc fragments breaking off and herniating out
-Likelihood that another disc level may dislodge, causing another nerve compression.
