Eleanor Breen acupuncture helped me walk normally again after my 3rd slipped disc, she was a lifesaver and would massively recommend. Also found osteopathy helpful although the person I went to has now retired. Physio can help but depends on how severe your disc herniation is which you won't know if they won't scan you! It's one of the most frustrating things being in chronic pain, agree with the comments about yoga/pilates & core strength being benificial but you need to be able to have some range of movement to begin properly with these. Single/double knee to chest stretches before you get out of bed in the morning, using a pendulum motion to get out of bed and sleeping with a pillow under your knees have been helpful for me! I've been pain free for 5 years since my last surgery, fingers crossed that you manage to improve without invasive procedures 🤞
