See below: There are treatments for this condition. These usually begin with physical therapy and medications. The next step may involve spinal injections by a pain management specialist. If these options have not provided relief, spinal surgery is sometimes necessary. There are many newer minimally invasive ways of treating this disorder, but you would need to see a spine surgeon to discuss these option.

Yes: Two kinds of treatment, one conservative by medications and physical therapy. If it failed you could go to surgical treatment which usually they the vertebrae together so it will move.
