A member asked:
Is it possible to fix a l5-s1 facet arthropathy permanently by pt and chiro for a 28 yrs old male?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Conservative care will help manage this problem but will not "fix" it. Check out spine-health.Com.

Hard to say : Generally any drug, herb, treatment, or procedure that stands up to rigorous scientific scrutiny is included in modern medicine. The problem is that many alternative practices, Chiro etc do not stand up to scientific scrutiny and cannot be shown to work. They will take your money though and prob recommend repeat visits. Still, you will know quickly if it doesn't work. If no result -- stop going
