Most times none: If managed appropriately with physical therapy, exercise, medications and possible pain management techniques like epidural steroid injections while keeping weight down and avoiding smoking. If you have had at least 6 months of non op care with your history, see a spine surgeon for the appropriate surgery to address the spine deformity and nerve compression.

The key concerns include presence of spinal cord compression and/ or nerve root pinching. Absence of these allows flexibility to try conservative measures
