There is no cure...: But there are several treatment options available for pain relief. While pain can certainly resolve on its own in several weeks, why wait. I treat aggressively to decrease inflammation, reduce pain, improve function and quality of life. See a board certified pain specialist for thorough physical exam and discussion to determine the treatment(s) best for your mother. No need to suffer.

Possibly a cure: More information is needed to determine whether your mother can have a cure with her back pain. A consultation with a physician trained in physical medicine, such as an osteopathic physician who does manipulations, a physiatrist, or orthopedic surgeon would be a good way to go.
