ello,
Thanks for writing to Health Care magic, I am Dr , Muhammad Ahmad , I have read your question closely, I understand your concern and will be helping you with your health related problem.
Treatment in this case scenario is usually conservative if it's not affecting your everyday life, but if it is affecting your life then doctors might think of surgery , usually neurospinal surgeons along with orthopedic surgeons do this surgey and it can be done in steps, instead of in one go , portions of spine are operated after every 2-3 months, exact plan depends upon doctors. post surgery, follow up and physiotherapy are very important factors in the treatment. I would suggest you to visist a neurospinal surgeon and discuss treatment options along with pros and cons of the srugery.
I hope this answered your question, If you have more queries I am happy to answer you.
Regards.
Dr.Muhammad Ahmad
