Spine problem treatment aims at managing the symptoms and treating the spine for improved functionality. The doctor may recommend surgery as well as non-surgical methods depending on the severity of the condition. In case of mild to moderate symptoms, spine problem treatment includes Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), antidepressants, anti-seizure drugs, opioids, etc. These medicines can provide short-term relief from pain and discomfort and allow the patient to carry out their daily activities. 

In case of severe symptoms which are immune to medications, the doctor may recommend long-term therapy or surgical intervention to improve or restore the spinal function.
