A disc hernia improves with rest, gentle movement, and physical therapy to strengthen your core and take pressure off the disc. Heat or ice packs can ease pain, and over-the-counter meds like ibuprofen help with inflammation. Massage can relax tight muscles around the area too. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor.
With that you will need to see a Doctor.Sorry
Gentle lower back adjustments and lumbar traction help to put the disc back where it needs to be. Home exercise instruction can sometimes benefit a patient as well.
Correcting the alignment of the vertebrae that articulates with the disc in question!
A combination of spinal manipulation, spinal decompression, stretching and strengthening the core usually works quite well. Try conservative treatments before considering surgical options.
