I had to have a L4-L5 fusion when I was 50 and started getting sciatic pain again about 5 years after. I did a year long, 3 times a week physical therapy called Pure Healthy Back up in Michigan. No drugs involved and just strengthening the core muscles and flexibility. 9 years later and my back is still good, not great, but I can still golf 3 times a week. So I suggest as others have said is to strengthen your core muscles and stretching which was a lot of yoga poses. I also have an inversion table that I use after golf to really stretch the lower back.
