by the most highly regarded peer reviewed medical literature. This may include conservative treatments, physical rehabilitation, interventional procedures, and minimally invasive as well as complex
surgery.

relative rest, education, activity and/or work modification, bracing,
medication and/or active physical rehabilitation. These measures are almost always incorporated into the treatment program of spinal conditions as they empower patients to be proactive with acute management and can be the crucial in achieving long-term success.
