I Am 47 Years Old And Slipped While Climbing Down

I am 47 years old and slipped while climbing down staircase a month back. This led to wedge compression of my L1(based on x-ray). Took bed rest for 4 weeks based on doctor's advice. As there is no relief in pain, doctor suggested to go for MRI. MRI impression is as below:
L5 vertebra appears sacralised with rudimentary L5/S1 disc
Mild diffuse posterior bulging of L3/L4 and L4/L5 discs indenting thecal sac
Facetal arthropathy at L3/L4 and L4/L5 level
Mild anterior wedging of D12 vertebra with indentation of superior end plate.
What is the best treatment or solution for above symptoms?
