Facet Joint Arthritis: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment
Facet joint arthritis is a common condition that affects the joints in the spine. The facet joints are the small joints located between each vertebra, responsible for providing stability and facilitating movement. Facet joint arthritis can occur in the lumbar or cervical spine, causing pain and discomfort for patients. In this article, we will discuss the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for facet joint arthritis.
There are two types of facet joint arthritis: lumbar facet joint arthritis and cervical facet joint arthritis.
Lumbar facet joint arthritis affects the facet joints in the lower back, which can cause pain in the lower back, buttocks, and legs. This type of facet joint arthritis is more common than cervical facet joint arthritis.
Cervical facet joint arthritis affects the facet joints in the neck and shoulders, which can cause pain in the neck, shoulders, and arms. This type of facet joint arthritis is less common than lumbar facet joint arthritis, but it can still cause significant pain and discomfort for patients.
