Time, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAIDs) medication, short-term use of a narcotic for acute pain, lumbar injections, and physical therapy are beneficial.
Although short-term bed rest is recommended during the acute phase, some activity is good. In this scenario "activity" is defined as being up for periods of time that will not cause severe pain. Prescribed exercise may include light stretching, walking, and aerobic type exercise.
