Hi, welcome to HCM
Your brother is definately overweight , which is putting an extra pressure on his spine.
First thing he has to do is weight reduction , followed by regular exercise. Then we have to see for improvement .
After above precaution if symptoms persists, then on basis of severity a operative procedure will be last choice, known as discectomy.
You must consult your orthopaedician for regular folllow up.
Regards.
