Hello, Thanks for your query on Lybrate "As" per your query spect scan is different where doctor views blood flows through arteries and veins and it is different from the bone scan. Do check if you have Loss of bladder or bowel control? or Numbness or weakness? if present then discuss with your Doctor about surgical repair. Do follow lifestyle modifications like this - 1)Do exercise regularly. Strengthening the trunk muscles helps stabilize and support the spine. 2)Maintain good posture. Good posture reduces the pressure on your spine and disks. Keep your back straight and aligned, particularly when sitting for long periods. Lift heavy objects properly, making your legs, not your back do most of the work. 3)Maintain a healthy weight. Excess weight puts more pressure on the spine and disks, making them more susceptible to desiccation. Hope that helps
