Relief that lasts — backed by expertise, guided by empathy.
If you’re dealing with lower back pain, numbness, or tingling that travels down your legs, a disc bulge in the L4-L5 region might be the reason. At Dr. Ahamed’s APPLE Physiotherapy Clinic in Chennai, we help patients recover from disc bulge issues using non-surgical, personalized treatments focused on long-term relief and better spinal health.

Chronic pain treatment is not just about quick fixes. It requires a combination of:
