Jim, see if you can find one that specializes in spine care. Better yet, find one that is familiar with the McKenzie method.

I had 12 sessions of physical therapy to deal with my 1/2" herniation on L5S1. I did about 140 exercises (press ups) per day.

I also had my PCP prescribe an oral steroid pack. That will help reduce the inflammation so the exercises can be more effective.
