Hi, Thanks for the query understand your concertgoer husband has lumbosacral disc problem. Your doctor has advised physiotherapy for strengthening the back muscles. He needs about a week of supervised physiotherapy which help him a lot. If you have financial problem, you can do it in a public sector/govt hospital. Medications that help are Gabapentin, pregabalin along with the advice given by your physiotherapistPlease get back if you need any additional information Best wishes
