Hi there,
Conservative measures(braces, corset and pain killers) help only people with no nerve compression or minimal activity limitation. The person you mentioned seems to be having a severe spondylolisthesis ( which is the slipping of a vertebra-L4 in this case- over another vertebra, L5).
Its most likely that the orthopaedician would suggest surgery since that offers the best chance of recovery from severe activity limitation.

Joey
