Facet Syndrome Alternative Treatments

If you’re suffering from facet syndrome, alternative treatments may be a good way to ease your painful symptoms. Whether it’s yoga, Pilates, chiropractic adjustment, or other options, the good news is that many forms of conservative, nonsurgical treatment have shown to be effective in easing pain for many patients. Of course, before you begin any treatment regimen, you should always speak to your doctor. It also pays to learn more about the specifics of your condition and why it is causing your pain.
What is Facet Syndrome?
Also known as facet disease, this condition generally describes the natural deterioration of the joints in the spine (facet joints). Just like any joint in your body, the protective cartilage around these joints wears away over years of movement. This degeneration can progress to the point that bone-on-bone contact occurs, which can result in pain or the development of bone spurs. Bone spurs can cause further issues if they come into contact with a nearby spinal nerve or other soft tissue. Facet syndrome and/or bone spurs can cause symptoms that include:
- Localized pain
- Radiating pain
- Muscle weakness
- Tingling
- Numbness
