Many options: the first line of treatment is to go to a physical therapist to be taught core strengthening and theraputics exercises. Anti inflammatories such ibuprofen are helpful as well. Sometimes cortisone injections are recommended. If all of these fail and your quality of life is significantly affected then is possible you may be a candidate for surgery
