Suggest Treatment For Disc Protrusion In An Infant

My newborn (almost 2 weeks old) has a constant spine petrusion in her mid/lower back. It s like she is bending over but it stays that way when she is laying flat on her stomach. It doesn t hurt her for me to touch her spinal column and she doesn t act as if it s causing any pain. I m still really worried.
