Pain that flares when you lean back or twist may be coming from the small joints of your spine. Pinpointing the source is key to relief.
Understanding Facet Joint Pain: Causes and Symptoms

Discomfort that may spread to nearby areas
Common causes
Facet joint pain is often related to arthritis, wear over time, or strain and injury.
How DR2SPINE approaches it
Care begins with a full evaluation and imaging review when appropriate to confirm the source. Because these joints are small and specific, image-guided precision matters. Dr. Myrdalis Díaz-Ramírez discusses a personalized plan that may include image-guided injections, regenerative options, and the M7-MLS laser, designed to calm irritation and reduce pain.
