Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows. 1. Compressed vertebrae does not get back to its original position. 2. It can only be controlled. Use Lumbar support to support the vertebral column and also try lumbar exercises/ lower back muscle strengthening exercises. 3. With activity, pain will increase. Take rest as required and use lumbar support during activity. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
