Dear patient
If your sister has got back bone shift due to injury she will not be able to walk or even sit. So I think there is no bone shift. The only way to rule out fracture or shift is Xray of lumbosacral spine anteroposterior and lateral views. So get it done from radiology center nearby you. If it's normal do not worry and take tab diclofenac 50mg twice a day for pain relief. And she will be fine. If Xray report is abnormal you need to take expert orthopaedic surgeon opinion.
