Laura's successfully used rhizotomies, trigger point injections, TENS, and heat to deal with the pain early after her ADR. After we nailed down what was happening more, we sought imaging and confirmed the facet arthritis wasn't getting worse. Once we knew that, she added prolotherapy and didn't go back again for a rhizo or trigger point work. A lot will depend on what shape the rest of your spine is in. Conservative non-surgical approaches work for a lot but they do have limits.
