Disk Extrusion Treatment options may include:
Medications: Over-the-counter medications can provide pain relief for mild to moderate pain. If you’re 
experiencing severe pain, our doctor may prescribe stronger pain relievers. If you’re having painful muscle 
spasms, then you may be prescribed a short-term course of muscle relaxants.
Cortisone injections: A corticosteroid injection directly into the damaged area reduces irritation and inflammation 
around compressed nerve roots. The effects of a cortisone shot are temporary, but it provides short-term pain 
relief and allows your body to start the healing process.
Physical therapy: We may recommend a course of physical therapy to help you regain lost mobility and improve 
strength in your spine and surrounding muscles. A therapist will work with you to build up strength in your low back 
and core muscles, which protect and support your spine.
Lifestyle Changes: Our doctor may recommend you make a few lifestyle changes like exercising regularly and 
losing excess weight. Exercising regularly can help you build and maintain strength, flexibility and mobile 
functionality in your muscles and joints. Losing excess weight takes stress and pressure off your spine and joints.
