Facet Joint Pain
Introduction
Facet joints are small joints between each vertebra that help the spine move. When irritated or inflamed, they can cause localized back pain and stiffness.
Signs/Symptoms
Sharp or aching pain in the lower back, often worse with bending, twisting, or prolonged standing.
Causes
Poor posture, repetitive strain, trauma, or degenerative changes in the spine.
How Physio Can Help
Manual therapy, mobility exercises, postural correction, and strengthening can relieve pain and restore function. Physios also guide activity modifications to prevent flare-ups.
