Hi,

I will suggest you to apply hot pack twice a day. And start active exercises of leg and upper body, you can do cycling, swimming , but don't do jogging, and back strengthening exercises along with cat and camel exercise, core strengthening will help you. Do keep your weight under check, and eat protein and calcium rich diet, avoid fried items.

Hope you will find the answer useful. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harsh Swarup
