And ...: Getting to the reason the disc herniated in the first place - either the result of trauma, disease or long term misalignment. See an osteopathic physician (do) who uses omt (manipulation). Find them online via aao or cranial academy websites. Other avenues to explore include gentle (supervised) yoga, tai chi, feldenkrais, qi gong, pilates (one-on-one if possible) and reducing stress.
