The conversation between human and AI assistant.
[|Human|] I have mild joint space narrowing at the L5-S1 level with moderate bilateral facet joint disease at the same level. The height of the vertebral bodies is normal. The posterior elements are intact. The sacrum is intact. The SI joints are are unremarkable. Impression: DJD at the L5-S1 level. Otherwise normal.As a result, I have back pain the never quits. What treatments options do I have?
[|AI|]  Hello there, After reading your concern the only best suitable option left for you is visiting a Physiotherapy clinic to get the treatment started on priority basis. The more you delay, the more it will get worsen. As you have not mentioned your age & sex, but after reading complaints it appears to me that you are above 50 years. DJD means degenerative joint disease. For this you will have to take anti-inflammatory medicines at the earliest along with the Calcium supplement. in the meantime you can start with Hot water fomentation to the painful site, and mild stretching. If you are visiting physiotherapy clinic 9as it is a must for you)Do not forget to take-Lumbar tractionLumbar mobilisationFacet joint mobilisationneural mobilisationStretching of hamstring McLemore strengthening The mobilization technique will help in circulation to the joints and will result in healing of the joint.
