Disc prolapse is not going to reduce after ultrasonography. Physiotherapy helps by strengthening muscles and ultrasono provide relief from back muscle spasm. If it is increasing pain in you then i can recommend you other modes like epidural steroids and infrared and TENS. But remember that disc pain takes time in healing.
