Hello,
Doing an MRI of the lumbar spine is advised to see the soft tissue status in the lumbar spine. The symptoms guide towards the nerve root entrapment.
With exercises like - core stability, spinal muscle strengthening exercises, hip muscle strengthening exercises and lower limb strengthening exercises will help improve the muscle strength and also improve the overall function.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
