Unhappy Collapsed L5

Hi I am new to this forum. Desperately trying to do research on diagnosis of collapsed L5 - this is what my sister has been diagnosed with and doctor is saying it is bone on bone.

Please can anyone tell me even if just header words all proposed or known solutions to this.
She is having an MRI tomorrow to confirm it but they are advising they will operate. Before they do so I would love to know if there are alternative therapies as from what little I have read back operations never fix the back??

She already had a laminectomy a year ago - the pain never went the doctor said she was fine and nothing more they could do for her.

Please help

Kind regards

Nicola
