[|Human|] Sir, Iam Dinesh age 33. Recently I had lower back pain ,went to Doctor ,he suggested MRI scan. The scan revealed disc dehydration with posterior annular tear with posterocentral disc protrusion minimally compressing anterior thecal sac seen at L5-S1 level. Sir please answer me how serious is this and what options I have to treat this.
[|AI|]  If your symptoms are not increasing and debilitating, do think about trying Acupuncture or Acupressure treatment which to a large extent will manage your pain and relieve you.  But be careful in approaching a qualified and registered Doctor. It is equally important to make sure the Doctor user disposable needles for Acupuncture.  Wishing you a speedy recovery. Following the recovery please make sure you do the necessary exercises regularly and correct your posture so that you can prevent any further recurrences.
