Complications and recurrences are rare. The treatment involves-  Medication- Analgesics and Anti-inflammatory drugs to relieve pain and swelling - Muscle relaxants - Cortico-steroid injections and spinal block injections Application of hot and cold packs in the painful area to relieve pain Restriction of sports and physical activities causing strain to the back Rest Braces for the back (without the involvement of surgery) Strengthening exercise for back and abdominal muscles Aerobic exercises to improve the overall physical fitness Physiotherapy Periodic X-rays to check if vertebra is slippingSurgical treatment If the combination of medication and physiotherapy fails to provide relief or, if slippage continues and your daily activities suffer, then surgery is probably the best option. Types of surgery Lumbar decompression This is a surgical operation performed at the affected area of the back to reduce the pain caused by compression of nerves. Lumbar spinal fusion This type of surgery is performed to prevent the movement at the painful area by means of fusing the bones.
