Frequently Asked Patient Questions

Common Questions Regarding Home Video Guidance

Yes. Medical literature confirms that over 90% of intervertebral disc bulges and even extrusions undergo natural resorption through macrophage phagocytosis and mechanical unloading. By eliminating inflammatory shear stresses through targeted neurodynamic decompression, the body heals the annular tear naturally.

Stop the movement immediately. Mild tension or therapeutic muscular soreness is normal, but sharp electric shooting pain or worsening peripheral numbness is a signal that a nerve is mechanically impinged. We advise transitioning immediately to a 1-on-1 video consultation so Dr. Sonal can tailor movements to your exact MRI scan.

Most patients experience the best outcomes doing the decompression routine once in the evening before bed and performing the 45-second micro-breaks during working desk hours. Consistency is far more impactful than intense, aggressive workouts.

Yes. All exercises curated in the Patients Zone are low-impact, non-weight-bearing, and safe for osteopenic or degenerative spine conditions. Dr. Sonal prioritizes stability and gentle joint kinematics over high-intensity movements.
