Likely no: But there are no guarantees in future predictions. 20% is not a huge degree of compression, and you don't say how old it is, as this could possibly increase or get worse in the future. How gentle and kind you are to your back now is a factor in if this progresses in the future or not. You need to stay active, but you need to protect your back from future stress as much is as reasonable.
