Physical therapy is great to help with any type of pain. The reason it helps with back arthritis is when you increase your core strength and flexibility of the spine it helps to support the joints better so they have less stress on them. Finding an amazing physical therapist is crucial to having good results.
I recommend you have prolozone therapy first, then do physical therapy.

Physical therapy cannot cure arthritis, however, it can relieve your symptoms from arthritis. The goal of PT will be to strengthen your muscles, increase AROM and improve your posture to help relieve the symptoms.
While there is no cure for arthritis at this time, physical therapy can most definitely can help alleviate, or help manage most signs and symptoms associated with arthritis in the back.
The simple answer is yes, it helps with the symptoms, but it may be more painful getting started. Diet helps with the disease control.
