The length of time it takes for a mild disc prolapse of less than 5% (somewhere near 1%-3%) to get cured depends on a variety of factors, such as the type and extent of injury, your overall physical health, and other treatment methods that are being used. Generally speaking, most people with mild disc prolapses can expect to be back on their feet within three weeks or so.

It's important to note that the cure rate depends on the particular person and their specific circumstances. Therefore, what works for one may not work for another. Treatment plans should be discussed thoroughly with your doctor or spine specialist before beginning any therapies.

There are many treatments available that can help reduce pain associated with this condition including over-the-counter medications (e.g., ibuprofen), heat/cold therapy, stretching exercises and physical therapy sessions designed specifically for helping patients manage back pain caused by these types of injuries. Additionally, some non-invasive surgical procedures offer effective relief from the symptoms like ballooning discectomy or metal braces which act as spacers between vertebrae in order to realign them correctly in order to reduce pressure placed upon them by bulging discs resulting from trauma or injury .

In conclusion, due to the wide range of possible treatments available there is no definitive answer as how long it takes for a mild disc prolapse less than 5%(somewhere near 1%-3%) will take in order to completely heal; however most cases typically require 3 weeks or less depending on an individual’s personal circumstances and treatment plan designed by their physician..
