Facet Joint Syndrome treatment in León

Facet syndrome is pain that originates in the facet joints, the small connections that link the vertebrae to one another and allow movement of the spine.

How does it show up? It usually causes back or neck pain that worsens when extending or twisting the trunk and that can radiate to nearby areas, such as the buttocks or shoulders.

Common causes: Wear associated with the passage of time, overload, and repeated movements can affect these joints.

Who evaluates it? The neurosurgeon can study the origin of the pain and define the most suitable approach. When the discomfort in the spine is persistent or limits daily activities, it is worth requesting a specialized evaluation.
