re: Anyone heal their herniated disc?

Hurt my back moving boxes mid 2019. Pretty much dealt with the pain through Mid 2021. Really started radiating down the left leg. Was very uncomfortable to sit at a desk. I had seen a chiro and the stretches and adjustments would loosen me up and make if feel better in the short term, but never got rid of it. I had been trying to stay in shape and was doing crossfit. Crossfit didn't make it worse, but it wasn't getting better. Decided to focus more on lifting with good form. Lowering the weight, removing the difficulties crossfit introduced, just really good form for squats and deadlifts. I ended up easily cruising past maxes I had in crossfit while the pain literally disappeared. I just made sure I was not going to push it to the point of having bad form and I always wore a belt and did plenty of warm up.

I've fallen off the wagon since the summer started, but still don't have any pain. I need to get back to it as I know that it was solely responsible for getting things back in order for me. I had trained for half and full ironman previously and think I had terrible muscle imbalances that popped up as soon as I quit training. The squats and deads put everything back in order. At least that's my theory.
