Hey there! You should take your mother to a good physiotherapy department of a hospital. Her condition does not seem to be very good. There are a lot of spinal problems. You should not worry. I am asking you to visit a hospital because management would be better that ways as there are other doctors also in a hospital.
The best thing would be to visit an orthopaedician also first.
Keep Her properly rested and support is required.
