Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.Thetreatment options for spondylolysyhesis grade I are:
1.Short period of rest or avoiding activities such as lifting and bending.
2.Physical therapy ( when you are free from pain).
3.Anti-inflammatory medications.(NSAID drugs)
4.Epidural injection of steroids.
5.Hyperextension braces of your lumbar column for short periods of time.( mainly during physical activity)
If symptoms fail to improve with conservative treatment surgery may be an option.
