I've been struggling with forward bending for over 3 years due to my slightly forward L4 vertebra causing movement issues. A doctor recently recommended bone fusion surgery, but I'd really prefer exploring non-surgical options first. What alternative treatments could help improve my condition without going under the knife?

Before resorting to spinal fusion, several non-surgical approaches can address forward bending due to spinal instability, including physical therapy, bracing, injections, and potentially other advanced non-fusion stabilization methods. These options can help manage pain, improve mobility, and potentially stabilize the spine without surgery.
