Posterior Facet Syndrome Treatment at Physicians Rehabilitation

If disruptive symptoms from posterior facet syndrome have left you searching for treatment, turn to the board-certified specialists at Physicians Rehabilitation for the advanced care you need and deserve. Our network of leading-edge orthopedic centers helps patients overcome chronic pain without the use of invasive surgical treatments or potentially addictive narcotics.

What is posterior facet syndrome?

Posterior facet syndrome, also known as facet disease, occurs when the spine’s facet joints weaken and lose their layer of cushioning cartilage as a result of spinal osteoarthritis. Because these joints play a pivotal role in everyday movements, posterior facet syndrome can trigger painful symptoms and substantially impact an individual’s quality of life.

How is it treated?

Spinal osteoarthritis and other degenerative conditions cannot be cured, but their progression can be slowed and their symptoms effectively managed. At Physicians Rehabilitation, we take an individualized approach to posterior facet syndrome treatment to achieve the best possible results for our patients. Our specialists may recommend a regimen of conservative treatments and self-care measures to reduce symptoms and promote mobility within the facet joints. Some common treatment approaches include:

  • Physical therapy
  • Minimally invasive nerve block injections to address nerve compression
  • Chiropractic care
  • Non-narcotic medication
  • Healthy lifestyle habits, like regular low-impact exercise and gentle stretching
