Physiotherapy is the solution. She has to avoid forward bending, weight lifting and jogging, running probably 6 weeks. She should have some sessions of physiotherapy and then she need to do exercises to strengthen her back muscle. It will take probably around 3 months to be absolutely all right. She will not have any functional restrictions.
