Dear Sir/ Madam,

Thank you for posting you query at healthcaremagic.com

I advice you to consult orthopedic doctors who would advice you to get X-Ray and MRI done to see the extent of disc and nerve involvement. Depending on the involvement the course of treatment will be decided. With the anti inflammatory and physiotherapy treatment(electrotherapy and exercise therapy) pain intensity will come down. Once the pain is down physiotherapist will give you the exercise which strengthen you back and make it more stable.
Continue the excersice at least for 3 months. Still the pain is not gone down consult your orthopedic doctor again to see alternative.

Along with the treatment follow do and dont.
Hope you get better with conventional mode of treatment.
If you have any further question. Please revert back to me. I will happy to assist you.

Your reply with thank you note will be very much appreciated!!!
With best wishes,
