###Human: What is the treatment followed for resolving back pain? ###Assistant: Hi. I agree with your doctor on the fact that the disc protrusion and degeneration does not cause pain in this region. In my opinion, the back pain could be related to a twisted or strained back muscle during the physical activity that you have performed. Ozone laser injection therapy can help against inflammation. It can lead to some benefits for the bulging disc, but I doubt whether it will improve the pain that you are feeling now. I suggest you take a muscle relaxant (Flexeril) and use a topical ointment with painkillers coupled with oral Ibuprofen for the pain. Local warm packs can help. A good back massage can also help to reduce the muscle spasms. Avoid doing physical activity that causes strain. Try to have a rest for a few days.
