What is Facet Syndrome?
Facet syndrome is type of back pain that can often include the buttock or leg, that is generated by a unique set of joints between each vertebrae, called the facet joints. The facet joints work with the corresponding disc to link the vertebrae above and below. This helps to form a working unit that allows for stability and weight-bearing capacity and movement of the spine.
Why are they painful?
What causes the facet joints to become painful? Usually the pain comes from an injury to the joint or changes associated with aging (degeneration). When either occur, the joint can become inflamed which then causes pain. Regular exercise,proper body mechanics and posture will help keep the facet joint healthy and moving properly, which can help decrease the chance of injury.
How to treat Facet Syndrome?
If in fact it is facet syndrome there are many techniques that the chiropractor can perform to help decrease the pain. Your chiropractor may use manipulation, soft tissue techniques and physical therapy to help decrease the pain experienced. If you are experiencing pain in the low back visit your chiropractor for the proper diagnosis.
