A member asked:

Hi, this ramakrishna i have back and neck pain since 2years reason for disc abrasion problem. please give me a some help how to cure this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Exercise is best: Unfortunately painful discs in the neck and low back can be difficult to manage. The only intervention that has been shown to help long term is a regular exercise regimen focusing on stretching and strengthening the back (core muscles), neck and shoulder stabilizers. Nicotine should also be avoided. Massage, chiropractic or traction treatments can help flares as can steroid injections.
