Hello,

As what I see is you have a degenerative disc at L4-L5 and L5-S1 levels so the paraspinal muscles are weak here. The grinding sound what you hear is of the facet joints. Since there is no stability in the spinal column it needs to produce some sound and pain.

I would advice you to start working out for your core stability, back extensor strengthening and lower limb strengthening. As all these exercises are oriented to provide good strength to muscles and stability to the spinal column.

In my clinical experience of 12 years, most cases have been better till date with the above-mentioned exercise and some specific as per the needs.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Jay Indravadan Patel, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist
