Hi,
treatment more depends upon symptoms patient have because MRI findings are more sensitive than the problem. As you mentioned that involvement is mild than first line treatment is conservative management with muscle relaxants and gabapentine. Start physiotherapy when pain relived with medicines. If it doesnt work than second line is injection therapy and last treatment option is surgery.
Thanks
