Hello, Spine disease is often a chronic issue. First line treatment consists usually of pain killers and physical therapy. Alternative medicine options such as chiropractic, acupuncture, TENS etc may also be tried at times when physical therapy doesn t help. If symptoms persist then imaging preferably with MRI is advised. If a specific origin location is found then local injections are the next step. If those do not help and imaging identifies a removable compression source then surgery may be considered. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
