A member asked:
Can the mild facet disease in my lower back around my waist area be reversed from degeneration?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, but the symptoms: Associated with this can be controlled with lifestyle modifications including not smoking, weight control and regular exercise. If no contraindications, over the counter medications can help. Core muscular stabilization workouts can benefit as well including yoga and/ or pilates.
