Any treatment options for disc protruding ?

No pain, no treatmen: Disc protrusion is very common and if not causing symptoms, no treatment needed. However, it is highly recommended that you have regular back exercises to maintain its health..

Disks: If you take 100 people and give each an MRI of the back, over 30% with have an extruded disk, without symptoms. If you have back pain, and an MRI shows the disk is extruded, and that disk corresponds to a nerve source of your pain, then removing the disk with micro surgical techniques has a very high chance of relieving your pain. Hope this helps.
