Have you seen a Spinal Surgeon for these issues and what treatment has been given?
Chiropractic treatment may make things worse if not done right. Also there is doubtful significance of these treatments.
There are a wide variety of painkillers available and I am sure that your mother will be able to some of the painkillers to help with the pain.
Hope this helps.
