Dystonia fused spinal facets... any remedy?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Therapy: The best treatment for such pain is physical therapy and excercie to strengthen the core. Facet injections or ryzotomy can be used for pain control as well although these treatments are generally temporary.

Facet Treatments: Could consider facet injections for relief. If those provide relief but short-lived would recommend medial branch block radiofrequency ablation for more longer lasting relief.
