Why is it that doctors can't agree on the right method of treatment for spondylolysis?

While doctors don't agree on the specific treatment for this injury, they do agree that someone with spondylolysis needs to rest in order to heal. Their disagreement lies in how this rest should happen. Should he wear a brace that limits the back movements? Should she be told not participate in anything physical for a set amount of time? Is bedrest needed?

Your child's doctor will use his or her own experience when deciding the type of treatment and take into consideration what type of a person your child is, and what caused the injury in the first place.
