in Murphy's repertory there is a rubric "Herniated disc syndrome,
slipped or ruptured vertebrae"-AESC, arn, AGAR, berb, BRY, coloc,
HYPER, kali-c, mag-p, ruta, tarent, tell, zinc.
Does it mean that one of these remedies can help in putting a
misplaced vertebra to its place?
One man was treated by a chiropractor for slipped vertebrae and they
did not stay in place. After taking Agaricus and being treated by a
chiropractor again his vertebrae stayed in place. Maybe in this case
Agaricus helped to strenghthen the spine after chiropractic treatment.
But this man also has a slipped 2nd cervical vertebra, his neck
muscles are very stiff and the chiropractor cannot help him at the
moment. Is it possible that a vertebra can take its place itself
somehow under the influence of some remedy from the above mentioned
rubric?

i have never worked with a herniated disc but have
had experience with other structural problems. homeopathy
has been quite helpful in improving bone as well as soft
tissue problems

Dear Michael/ Tanya
I had cases of severe backache - sciatalgia whithoute disc herniation with a remarkable responce to homeopathy.
But I never had a case with a severe disc herniation wich responded well to homeopathy.

For the last 4-5 weeks, I have been bedbound from severe lower back and joint pains including a herniated disk, inflammed muscles near my sciatic nerves, slipped vertebra, and arthritis in my lower spine. I went to the ER for some pain relief and ended up being admitted. I was hospitalized for 2.5 weeks, during which time I was on conventional treatments. I was also on Hypericum and Rhus Tox, which I credit with helping my recovery, but that would be hard to prove and tease out from the effects of my other meds.
As soon as I got home though, I stopped everything except for ibuprofen (Motrin). About 1.5 weeks ago, I stopped ibuprofen because it was causing too much stomach pain. At that point I switched to Calc Carb. The improvement as been remarkable. On Calc Carb and some nutritional supplements alone, that raw nerve pain has completely disappeared and all I have now is a mild, dull pain that makes movement difficult, but not excrutiating. I am able to get out of bed and use the bathroom by myself whenever I want now (before, even on pain pills, I needed help). I would definitely say that my improvement with homeopathy is as effective as my improvement in the hospital using prednizone (steroids).
Hope that helps,
Helen
