A pain in your back isn’t necessarily cause for alarm. Most back pain resolves with rest, anti-inflammatory medication, physical therapy and exercise. Back pain that doesn’t diminish or go away after six weeks despite your best efforts may indicate a medical condition like facet joint impingement. When your facet joints squeeze the nerves exiting your spine in the lumbar, thoracic and cervical areas of your back, you need to be treated to ease that pain. The back pain specialists at NYC pain management are ready to get you out of pain. Call today.
Your pain may stem from a facet joint pinching a nerve as it exits your spinal column. Facet joints line the back of your spine, where two adjacent vertebrae meet. These joints maintain your back’s stability and allow you to bend and twist. They have a bony exterior, covered in cartilage to keep the bones from rubbing painfully together.
Facet joints are enveloped in a sac of synovial spinal fluid, which further lubricates them. But ruptures, fractures and other injuries can occur. Additionally, facet pain can be caused by other conditions, such as:
Trauma, such as whiplash, a sports or repetitive-motion injury
Poor posture, which can overload your spinal tissues and facet joints
Facet joint syndrome, a form of spine arthritis
Degenerative changes in your spine, increasing the pressure on the facet joints.
