She has lumbar spondylosis which is a degenerative change in the spine with age. Report also suggestive of vertebral body one over the other. Hence, to confirm need to see the X ray.
Kindly check for her vitamin D and calcium levels. She needs to undertake physiotherapy which works more on her core to prevent further shift of the vertebrae.
Next Steps
Advised for flexion based exercises
Health Tips
Position her with pillows such that her legs are raised upto 90 degree while lying down.
