There are a wide variety of treatment options offered by both medical and alternative medicine practitioners. Most doctors are focused on pain and symptom relief (secondary conditions), and they do an excellent job. People often start with medication or herbal/homeopathic remedies which can shut-off your body's pain receptors.
If that does not work, then courses of physical therapy may be used to strengthen muscular weakness, address spasm, or increase mobility. Injection programs to calm the site of pain come in next.
When those do not work, more invasive procedures like surgery start to fall into the picture. All of these treatment programs are effective in the appropriate time and place and have different goals.
