Facet Joint Syndrome, is a common arthritis-like condition causing neck and lower back pain. This condition is a deterioration of the facet joints, which help stabilize the spine and limit excessive motion. The facet joints are lined with cartilage and are surrounded by a lubricating capsule that enables the vertebrae to bend and twist. Your healthcare provider will work with you to diagnose and treat your facet joint syndrome.
