Facet Joint Syndrome

Facet Joint Syndrome is a condition where the small joints in the spine become inflamed, causing back pain and reduced mobility. Initial treatments include physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and facet joint injections to reduce pain and swelling. For persistent pain, minimally invasive procedures like radiofrequency ablation or facet joint fusion can provide relief by disrupting nerve signals or stabilizing the joint. These surgeries offer advantages such as smaller incisions, less postoperative pain, and quicker recovery times. Our Specialist Minimally Invasive Spine Surgeon provides expert spine care with compassion, focusing on individualized treatment plans to improve patients' quality of life.
