Hello Doc, I Am Diagnosed With Disc Pro Lapse (L5-S1)

Hello doc,
I am diagnosed with disc pro lapse (L5-S1) in Sep 2015.
I went for Physiotherapy for 15 days, then it was good for some days. Again I was suffering by lower back pain and numbness in the left leg..Then I took few more sessions (traction & IFT).
It didnt respond well, so after a month I went for Ayurvedic treatment, it was gud for 2 months and then it all started from the beginning. Recently I took Acupuncture sessions and the answer is same.

So My question is, though I tried 3 types of treatment still I have this issue (lower back pain and numbness in the left leg). Is there not a remedy for this (except disc removal by surgery)?


*Nature of my job: Desk job (sit for 8 hours and travel for 2 hours)
*Have taken all precautions after diagnosis like avoid prolonged sitting, no forward bending, no weight lifting, avoid bike rides, etc.
