Depends on symptoms: If there are no symptoms, weight loss, core strengthening exercise, smoking cessation can slow or prevent progression. If you have symptoms, there are a variety of treatment options, ranging from observation, medical treatment, physical therapy, chiropractic treatment, injections, surgery.
