Q. What is the treatment of L4-L5 disc prolapse?
Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.
L4-L5 disc prolapse is treated through a combination of conservative (non-surgical) and surgical methods. Conservative treatment options include physical therapy, pain management, and bracing/imobilization. When conservative measures fail or are not feasible, surgery may be recommended.
The most common surgical option for L4-L5 disc prolapse is a lumbar discectomy, which is the removal of the herniated portion of the disc that is causing symptoms. Other surgical options include spinal fusion and artificial disc replacement.
