Hello,
As the displaced lumbar intervertebral disc will have symptoms like radiating pain, numbness, tingling etc. As this is a long-standing pain now it may have reduced the strength in the muscles of the spine, core and lower limbs.
The first thing to do is to stabilize the lumbar spine using a lumbar spine brace. Along with this using a hot water fermentation should be done to relax the muscles. Then doing the McKenzie maneuver for centralising the pain. The McKenzie maneuver can be looked onto the internet. Post getting centralisation of the pain, hot water fermentation to reduce the pain is advised. From here take on to the stabilizing the core muscle exercises along with lower limb strengthening exercises.
Strength conditioning should begin once the pain level falls in between 5-6 on a visual analogue pain scale of 0-10.
In my clinical practice of over 12 years, most cases with lumbar spine disc Degenerative cases have responded well with physiotherapy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
