* 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
