* Rule out Neurology involvement & Unstable spine because that will decide wether to conserve or operate. * if conservative option is valid Rest with pain killers and muscle relaxants may help * Taylers brace can be used * ice packs If failed conservative treatment then consult near by spine surgeon / Orthopaedic Surgeon and decide accordingly
