First step would be pain management , the target points and local points, electro stimulation therapy would help to increase blood flow in the body and help quick repair of the disc fracture, moxibustion ( passing heat in the body) through specific points, diet tips to strengthen back would be recommended, Some exercises will also be given to patient. Everything mentioned above is tried and tested with excellent response in patients.
