You should consult a physical therapist for the pain management of your wife.She can do back extension exercises and yoga which will help her.You can also try alternative therapy like homoeopathy for her.
She should religiously do yoga and go to the physical therapist as medicines usually do not give results and continuous exercises are the only treatment apart from surgery.
