Free Your Spine: Beat Facet Joint Pain
Jun 16, 2025 -- Posted by :Facet Joint Syndrome and the Power of Chiropractic Care
Understanding the Facet Joints
Facet joints are the small joints at the back of your spine that allow for smooth movement and flexibility. These joints can become irritated, inflamed, or arthritic—resulting in a condition known as Facet Joint Syndrome. It’s one of the most underdiagnosed causes of chronic back pain, especially in adults over 40 and those who sit or stand for long periods.
Symptoms of Facet Joint Syndrome
Localized pain in the lower back or neck
Pain that worsens with standing, bending, or twisting
Stiffness, especially in the morning
Radiating pain that mimics sciatica
Difficulty with spinal rotation or extension
These symptoms are often mistaken for general back pain or disc problems, but if your discomfort worsens with backward bending, facet joints may be to blame.
Common Causes
Degenerative arthritis (osteoarthritis)
Poor posture or prolonged sitting
Spinal injuries
Repetitive motion or heavy lifting
Sedentary lifestyle
Age-related wear and tear
How Chiropractic Care Helps Facet Joint Syndrome
At Coast Chiropractic Centers, we use non-invasive, gentle approaches to help reduce inflammation, increase mobility, and relieve pain caused by facet joint dysfunction.
1. Targeted Spinal Adjustments
Misalignments in the spine create uneven stress on facet joints. Chiropractic adjustments help restore proper alignment and function, relieving pressure and reducing inflammation in the affected joints.
2. Postural and Movement Corrections
We guide you in improving spinal posture and movement habits—critical to preventing future flare-ups and reducing stress on the joints.
3. Class IV Diowave Laser Therapy
This high-powered laser penetrates deep into the tissues to accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and stimulate cellular repair in the affected facet joints.
4. Graston Technique & Soft Tissue Release
Muscle tension and adhesions often accompany facet syndrome. Our hands-on tools and techniques restore mobility in the surrounding musculature and ligaments, supporting the spinal joints.
5. Rehabilitation & Core Strengthening
We incorporate stability and neuromuscular re-education exercises to reinforce a healthy spine, reduce recurrence, and improve balance and coordination.
