Brief Answer:
Laser treatment can be planned aftter few weeks.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The back pain that you are having is likely to be related to the mild disc herniation at L5-S1 level. Since there is no foraminal narrowing regular physiotherapy exercises and mild traction will help in decreasing the pain. Spinal decompression and laser treatment can be avoided for now and can be planned in case there is no relief with traction and lumbar disc support belt. The treatment can be planned according to the relief you get with the medicines.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
Oral muscle relaxants can help.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing in again.
For the pain of 8 on a scale of 10, you need strong anti-inflammatory pain killers. Only Kaprex will not help. You can get oral muscle relaxants prescribed by your Orthopedician and do a hot compress in the area. Application of local analgesic gel like Volini will also help.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
