Is there any way to cure a herniated disc? They're easy to get and totally disabling, there's also a ton of snake oil salesmen out there and it seems like actual medical knowledge of it is in the stone age. I'm starting a paleo diet along with calorie restriction and intermittent fasting in order to see if it will take away the burning sensations in my fingers and sciatica in my leg.

Anyone know of any medical research currently going on to find a cure?
