To clarify one of Jerry's points, I think what he means is to 1) get rid of the insects (they look like roaches to me), and 2) give the plant good culture so it may grow new roots.

Orchids don't "heal." The damaged tissue will not regrow. The damaged roots will eventually rot away but new ones can grow to replace them.
