I am wondering if there is any supplements that helps to heal disc fissures and strengthen a lumbar disc after therapy for a disc herniation.Does glucosamine,chondrotine or collagen supplements helps?

I dont think these supplements have any place in the treatment of disc herniation. In most cases, disc herniation pain will improve with anti-inflammatory drugs while continuing normal activity.
Sometimes, morphine-like medications appear helpful in case of function-limiting pain.
In specific cases, epidural steroid injection is recommended.
You should see your doctor so that you can discuss the best modality of treatment in your case.

Y can take an intra discal injection with ozone and it will heal yr disc and it's superior to other model of treatment
