I have a disc slip with canal space narrowing from 4mm to 7mm and attached my report. When I stand for about 5 minutes, my legs start feeling numb. Can this be treated with therapy or will I need spinal surgery? Also, is there a risk of paralysis?

While rare, the risk of paralysis exists with severe compression, so it's crucial to consult with a medical professional for diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan
