If the compression is in the early stage then it can be prevented from worsening by protecting the remaining lumbar spine by external support. Also lumbar traction helps a lot in many cases as it stretches the spine so that the pressure on the disc is released and the disc gradually returns to its place and hence bulging reduces.
Next Steps
Consult a physiotherapist ask for lumbar traction.
