Disc prolapse
Since Jan this year I had mild pain in lower back which increased in the later half of the year.. I consulted few doctors n was diagnosed with disc prolapse in L4-L5 AND L5-S1. I was recommended to go for lumbar traction but I took a second opinion and he asked me to strictly avoid traction and recommended SWD.. So I am confused as to which treatment method should I go for. SWD is relieving me off my pain on a temporary basis. Plus any precautions that I need to take in future ??

To take traction or not depends on the complains. There is nothing like strictly avoid. treatment depends on the degree of disc prolapse
