A doctor has provided 1 answer
Back pain: The source of the pain may be from a pinched nerve or a tear in the disc rather than inflammation in the facet joint. Alternatively, the facet joint may be too degenerated to respond to cortisone shots alone. Back bracing, physical therapy or chiropractic care may relieve the pain. If these measures fail to eliminate the pain and then surgery may be the next option.
