Vertebral traction may help. Other option is surgery.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. The first effective treatment option would be vertebral traction. You would need the assistance of physical therapists for the same. This has to be used in conjunction with hot compress and exercises/physical therapy. The second treatment option is surgical correction of the problems. You would need to approach an orthopedic surgeon or a neurosurgeon (spinal surgeon) for the same.
