A member asked:

Please help! i have a couple buldging disks, l4-5?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

L4/5 is one disc: Bulging discs are a totally normal finding and become more common with age. This suggests early degenerative changes of the disc. This may or may not be causing symptoms. For degenerating discs that are causing pain, all the usual treatments are appropriate: physical therapy, chiro, decompression/traction. Core strengthening and not smoking are the best long-term preventative strategies.
