Persistent neck pain or lower back pain can significantly impact your daily activities and overall quality of life. One of the most common yet frequently overlooked causes of spinal discomfort is Facet Syndrome. This condition affects the facet joints of the spine and can result in chronic pain, stiffness, inflammation, and reduced mobility.
At Dr. Vivek Loomba’s clinic, patients receive comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plans aimed at addressing the underlying cause of pain. Through evidence-based care and patient-focused treatment strategies, the goal is to improve mobility, restore function, and provide long-term relief.
Facet Syndrome, also known as Facet Joint Syndrome, occurs when the small joints located between the vertebrae become inflamed, irritated, or degenerated. These joints are responsible for maintaining spinal flexibility and stability. Over time, age-related wear and tear, injuries, arthritis, and repetitive strain can damage these joints and lead to chronic pain.
The condition most commonly affects the cervical spine (neck) and lumbar spine (lower back), causing localized pain and discomfort that may spread to nearby areas.
Several factors may contribute to the development of Facet Syndrome, including:
Patients experiencing arthritis-related spinal degeneration or osteoporosis-related spinal weakness may be at a greater risk of developing facet joint problems.
Common symptoms of Facet Syndrome include:
If symptoms persist or interfere with daily life, professional medical evaluation is recommended.
