A short YouTube presentation by Jeff Langmaid introducing a meta-analysis on spontaneous resorption (spontaneous healing) of lumbar disc herniations. The speaker frames the study as relevant to clinicians who treat disc problems and promises to explore the research and offer practical clinical 'pearls' for patient conversations. The video references a more recent update to the meta-analysis and positions the older study as setting the stage for new research.

Chapters

This week we are back with more research looking at a study all around the spontaneous resorption of lumbar disc herniations. This was a meta analysis. There actually was an update to this study that came out really, really recently. This one is a couple years old, but it really sets the stage for the research that recently came out. And if you are somebody that sees a lot of patients with disc issues, which I think everybody listening here is, this is a great study with some take home messages. We're going to explore it together. We're going to talk about and give some clinical pearls that you can utilize when having conversations with your patients. Starting today.
