Yes: Physical therapy, injections are the main non-operative treatments; in severe cases surgery is an option for some.

It can take a long time to really get better. Stretching the mucles and also strengthening needs to happen. A physical therapist can teach you how to do both. Also cross training is very beneficial to help prevent recurrence.
