Lumbar Facet Syndrome
Lumbar facet syndrome occurs when the small joints at the back of the spine become inflamed or arthritic. These joints guide spinal movement and can be a source of sharp, localized lower back pain, especially when extending, twisting, or bending backward.
Facet syndrome is typically diagnosed with physical exams or diagnostic injections. Chiropractic care, manual therapy, and strengthening exercises help restore motion and reduce pain in the lumbar spine. Persistent cases may require medial branch blocks or radiofrequency ablation.
