A facet joint posterior vertebral joint is that the interfaces of two adjacent upper and lower vertebrae. Also known as an intervertebral joint, facet joint provides for the movement known as "articulation" in defined ranges of motion. The articulation of a facet joint includes lean forward: flexion, bending backwards: the extension, and torsion: cervical or thoracolumbar rotation. The joint is stretched and unloaded during flexion and loaded in compression or extension. The facet joints are also limiting joint range to prevent damage to the discs of the spine range of motion excessive movement.

What is a synovial joint?
The facet joints are synovial joints, the joint more common in the human body. A synovial joint is characterized by a joint capsule, joint capsule synovial fluid lubricating fluid inside the joint and cartilage on the outside of the joint between the top and bottom of the adjacent surfaces of each vertebra to allow a smooth gliding motion.

What is facet arthritis?
Facet arthritis is an inflammation of facet arthropathy degenerative of the facet joints of arthritis can be one of the syndromes of facet joint pain. Both chronic pain conditions can be caused by wear, degeneration of the cartilage surfaces, associated joint capsule or spinal discs, injuries or trauma, incorrect posture, leaning forward too the head, or abnormal curvature of the spine, such as excessive lordosis arch the lower back.

Factors Affecting Joint Movement
The facet joint must be able to move freely without restriction. The facet joint pain is often experienced when the joint is "stuck" or "fixed" in the open or closed position or in the open or partially closed position. The facet joint dysfunction can cause pain the muscles that surround the problem that increase their tone very tight in order to "splint" or support the problem. By contrast, the musculature around the joint may have a problem that is causing the joint to be stuck open or closed, resulting in facet joint pain.

Hi,Is it normal to have terrible headaches during early pregnancy ? I am finally pregnant after trying for over 10 years. I am in my early 30s and this is a new experience for me. I took 8 different pregnancy test, and they were all positive. I have not gone to the doctor yet, but I have an appointment for Monday morning. Every thing is the same except for I have extreme headaches everyday. I have taken so many different kinds of headache medications, but nothing works. Is it normal to have headaches during early pregnancy, or is it something besides pregnancy that is making me have these headaches?

Hi,

I have been having back problems since I can remember and I have been ignoring it as well due to busy days at the office, until it got really worse. I’m researching on remedies to back aches and luckily I came across your article which is really good stuff!

I tried yoga and it really worked for me, I think since my predicament has improved.

Anyway, thanks for great information. Very helpful.

Regards!
