Arthritis of the spine and physical therapy, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Physical therapy(PT): Pt is an excellent first step. Try to finish pt and if you need it, consider procedures like epidural steroid injections or facet injections (depending on where your arthritis is) to help get you through the therapies. Make sure to keep working on core strength to support your back. Best of luck!
