There is no solution to curing facet arthropathy permanently. But doctors can provide a pain management program. This program can help in the following manner: 1.Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAIDs)– ibuprofen, aspirin, and naproxen are some of the medication that helps in pain relief and reduces inflammation too. The doctor’s guidance is advisable for the medication. 2.Physical Therapy– With the help of a physiotherapist you can restart the movement and regain strength. 3.Epidural steroid injections 4.Facet joint ablation– Radiofrequency waves are used to close down the facet joint nerves. 5.Spine surgery- For compressed nerves, spinal surgery is performed to decompress them. Also, spinal fusion can also be performed to remove facet joints in the spine that are fused together.
