Brief Answer:
Muscle spasm can be relieved with oral muscle relaxants.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Scoliosis of the spine that has been noted is a temporary change due to the muscle spasm caused by the injury. This should get relieved with rest and oral muscle relaxants.
The osteophytic lippings are degenerative changes of the spine that are usually age related changes. In case the lippings are more prominent then it can cause a nerve root compression.
You can get n MRI scan of the spine done to see more details regarding the disc and nerve root compression.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
