Facet Degenration

Facet syndrome is a form of osteoarthritis (arthritis of the spine) that is most commonly experienced by people age 50 and older. While it can occur at any level of the spine, this condition is most common in the flexible, weight-bearing cervical (neck) and lumbar (lower back) regions.

SYMPTOMS

Pain, numbness, and muscle weakness associated with facet joint syndrome will affect different parts of your body depending on which of your nerves are being affected. If the nerves affected are in your cervical spine, you may have symptoms in your neck, shoulders, arms and hands.

CAUSES

  • Genetics.
  • Age.
  • General wear and tear.
  • Weakened immune system.
  • Traumatic bone fractures.
  • Obesity.
  • Improper lifting.
  • Poor posture, while standing, sitting or lying down.
