Hello,
It is an age-related wear and tear and most cases respond well to conservative management.
As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist you can consult a neurosurgeon and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
