L3-L4 herniation

hi
as you said that you got relief with manual traction you should continue with that but don't try to it at your home or by your husband. you must go to a physiotherapist near to you and get the traction by him/her or you can get the mechanical traction as well.i think with the mechanical traction you will get relief more faster than the manual traction.
You should also start some stretching exercises. you may start with knee to chest stretch( single-double). which will be very helpful to you.

In the last i will again say that please don't try traction your self or by your husband.

follow only that exercise program at home which will given by your physiotherapist.
if you need any further information feel free to contact me.

best regards
