Doctors’ responses
1.A mild disc bulge at L5 is common and often improves with conservative (non-surgical) treatment.
2.Focus on physiotherapy exercises that strengthen back and core muscles; avoid prolonged sitting and heavy lifting.
3.Anti-inflammatory medicines as prescribed can help reduce pain and swelling. Ayurveda/alternative therapies may give relief, but physiotherapy has stronger medical evidence.
4.Maintain proper posture while sitting, standing, and sleeping use a firm mattress and avoid bending forward suddenly.
5.Surgery is rarely required for mild bulges with consistent care and exercise, most patients improve within weeks to months.
