Pain evaluation.: A pain medicine medical specialist will be able to evaluate you and perform appropriate examination/tests so as to gauge whether not your pain is from facet joints . Good luck and be well.

Core Exercises: Typically core strengthening exercises are the best to help relieve pressure and forces in the spine. I would try and google some or look them up on youtube to see descriptions. If you can do them yourself, wonderful otherwise ask your doctor to get a referral to a good physical therapist for further assistance.
