Minor lumbar instability can be recovered in about 6 to 8 weeks with conservative treatment, while severe lumbar instability may require surgery. Minor lumbar spine instability is mostly caused by degenerative changes in the lumbar spine, resulting in minor slippage. Most cases of this condition can be recovered in about 6 to 8 weeks with strict conservative treatment. Severe lumbar instability is mostly caused by severe trauma and severe lumbar spondylolisthesis, which is likely to require surgical treatment. The mainstay of conservative treatment is bed rest, symptomatic treatment with oral NSAIDs for pain (e.g. celecoxib, etc.), swelling-reducing medications such as Mazolam, and nutritive nerve medications such as methylcobalamin, as well as proper exercise of the low back muscles. The main form of surgical treatment is immobilization of the lumbar spine. If lumbar spine instability is combined with discomfort, it should be promptly consulted, and the treatment should be in accordance with the doctor’s prescription after the diagnosis is clarified.
