What is cervical and lumbar facet joint pain?

Cervical and lumbar facet joint pain refers to discomfort originating from the facet joints in the cervical (neck) and lumbar (lower back) regions of the spine. These joints allow for movement and stability, and can become painful due to conditions like Arthritis, injury, or degeneration. Symptoms may include localized pain, stiffness, and sometimes radiating pain, depending on nerve involvement. Treatment often includes physical therapy, medication, and in some cases, injections or surgery for severe cases.
