Understanding Facet Joint Pain — And What You Can Do About It

Your facet joints are small but important joints in your spine that help guide and stabilize movement. When these joints become inflamed (from poor posture, repetitive motion, or even age-related wear and tear), they can cause sharp, localized pain that’s often aggravated by arching, twisting, or standing for long periods.
