Facet Joint Syndrome Explained

Understanding Facet Joint Syndrome

Facet joint syndrome involves the facet joints becoming inflamed or arthritic, leading to pain and discomfort in the spine. This can occur at any level of the spine but is most common in the lumbar and cervical regions.

Symptoms of Facet Joint Syndrome

Key symptoms include:

  • Persistent pain at the joint between two vertebrae
  • Increased discomfort with backward motion or twisting
  • Radiating pain to shoulders and buttocks depending on the affected area
  • Stiffness and reduced flexibility in the spine

Causes and Risk Factors

Primary causes of facet joint syndrome include:

  • Degenerative changes due to aging
  • Excessive pressure on the spine over time
  • Poor posture or spinal alignment
  • Sports injuries or other physical trauma

Diagnosis and Treatment

Diagnosing facet joint syndrome typically involves:

  • Physical exams to assess pain response to movement
  • Imaging studies to look at the wear and tear on facet joints
  • Possible nerve block injections to confirm the source of pain

Effective treatment strategies may include:

  • Physical Therapy: Exercises tailored to strengthen the back and improve mobility.
  • Medication: NSAIDs to control pain and reduce inflammation.
  • Therapeutic Injections: Such as corticosteroids for severe pain.
  • Manual Therapy: Adjustments and massage to relieve pain and improve function.

Prevention

Preventive measures include maintaining good posture, regular exercise, weight management, and ergonomic adjustments at work and home to minimise strain on the spine.
