Your report has findings consisted with mild disc disease.

I suggest that you consult a board certified pain medicine specialist, credentialed with the initials MD, DABPM after their name.

These doctors are trained in advanced anesthesiology, the central and peripheral nervous system, the use of advanced pain medication, and in techniques that can deliver pain relief with injections and other non-surgical procedures to specific areas of the body.

This doctor will know that in cases like yours, physical therapy can be effective in reducing inflammation and lowering pain.
