My father was recently diagnosed with facet joint arthritis in his back, and he's in a lot of pain. We're trying to understand how serious this condition is and what to expect in terms of treatment and long-term care. Is it something that can get very bad?

It can cause annoying stiffness, but keeping your core muscles strong is the best way to support your spine. If your doctor allows, light swimming or specific physiotherapy exercises can drastically reduce the pressure on your facet joints.

My dad has this and honestly, it just seems to make his back super stiff when he sits for too long. He goes for regular physiotherapy and is doing totally fine now, so don't stress too much!
