i understood your concerns, see dear as you mentioned for how many days you had taken physio treatment?? ift, traction should be continue for at least 15 days then 1 week with exercise and mobilization of lower back vertebra.... you have to be very patience... see ayurvedic or allopathy or physiotherapy will relieve pain immediately but will reappear once you stop taking treatment so exercise is only the treatment and permanent solution.....
