Hi there.

Thanks for the query.

Do you have a slip disc as well?

Any tingling or numbness in the lower limbs?

Usually facet joint arthritis can benefit with Facet joint injections, Physiotherapy, sometimes Epidural injections.

Laser surgery will be good to remove any slip disc or remove the arthritic facet joints.
