Emergence of Medical Institutions for Providing
Facet Joint Pain Treatment

• In a human body, the joints that connect two
  adjacent vertebrae are known as Facet joints.
  These joints are always in motion and therefore
  suffer from years of wear and tear at one point
  of time. When these joints degenerate due to any
  kind of repetitive stresses and strains over
  time these results in Facet Joint Disease. Now
  lets see a few common reasons of causing Facet
  Joint Disease.
• The body and lifestyle of every person differ
  from each other and therefore causes of Facet
  joint disease also varies. But, commonly when the
  cartilage on the facet joint breaks down or thins
  down, it causes pain. A few to name other reasons
  of facet joint disease include aging, accidents,
  repetitive trauma, poor posture, injuries, or
  work-related activities. Facet Joint Disease can
  also be genetic. Gender and excess weight are
  other reasons. An important thing to note down
  here is that men are more susceptible to develop
  facet joint disease when they are in an age group
  of around 45. Women are more likely to develop
  it after menopause.
• Symptoms of Facet Joint Disease
• The symptoms of Facet joint disease are not
  regular. These can be observed occasionally.
  Generally these come with episodes as frequently
  as a few times a month. Patients might feel
  tenderness and inflammation in the affected
  joint(s). Their cervical spine also loses
  flexibility that hinders the movement in the
  neck. While leaning backward, you might feel pain
  in the affected area. However, this pain gets
  disappear or slows down while bending forward.
  Patients suffering from Facet Joint Pain
  experience severe pain in the neck and this
  spread out further into the shoulders or upper
  arm. Sometimes your forearm and fingers can also
  get affected.
• If Facet Joint pain does not go in sometime, it
  is very crucial to consult a specialized doctor
  for the Facet Joint Pain Treatment. Otherwise,
  your spine might lose movement forever turning
  you into paralysis. As a basic prevention, you
  should always ensure to follow regular exercise
  routine and maintain a good posture. If your
  weight is in control, your spine will always
  remain healthy.
• Talking in particular about Facet Joint
  Stabilization, with increasing number of patients
  suffering from Facet Joint Disease, more of
  specialized medical institutions have come up to
  take care of them. For the stabilization
  procedure, at each of the facet joints, small
  faces are located between and behind the
  adjacent vertebrae. When each one of these joints
  allows a small amount of normal movement, there
  is a movement in the entire area. And it is with
  the combined effort that the facet joints are
  allowed to move at the full spinal range.
