Facet Disease Facts

Many Facet Disease Patients Are Perfect Candidates for LSI’s Minimally Invasive Procedures

Most of us take the flexibility of our spinal column for granted. We can all thank our facet joints for making our spinal column as flexible as it is. Facet joints are links between the vertebrae (or bones) of our spine. With a facet joint directly above and below each vertebra, our spinal column is built to bend and stretch as we do.

When facet disease affects these vital joints, you will experience pain in the joint and in related parts of the body. What this means is, if you have facet disease in the lower back, pain can radiate to the hips and thighs. Likewise, if facet disease is in the neck, pain can travel to the shoulders and arms.
