L4 and L5 refer to the fourth and fifth vertebrae in the lumbar spine, respectively. Disc problems in these areas can cause pain and discomfort, and may require physical therapy as part of the treatment plan. Here are some common physical therapy treatments for L4 and L5 disc problems:
Manual therapy: This involves hands-on techniques, such as massage or joint mobilization, to help relieve pain and improve joint mobility.
Stretching and strengthening exercises: Specific exercises can help stretch tight muscles and strengthen the muscles around the affected area. This can help improve flexibility and reduce pain.
