[|AI|]  Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised. As you have spondylosis and disc bulge in the lumbar spine, you need to undergo physical therapy. As with the use of the therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy your pain levels will be reduced. Post which with simple exercise you should respond well. As spondylosis is the aging of the spine and disc bulge occurs due to wear and tear of the spine. It is a normal physiological process.in my clinical practice I have seen cases with disc bulge, and they respond well to physical therapy.regards Jay In Chat Doctor.
