In principle, it is a sign of wear and tear, also known as vertebral joint arthrosis. If the <strong>facet syndrome<\/strong> occurs in <strong>the lumbar spine<\/strong>, it is a lumbar facet syndrome. But, what actually is a facet joint?<\/p>\n<p>Facet joints are the small vertebral joints that perform an important function as a link in the cervical and lumbar spine. The connection is made at the articular processes of two vertebral bodies. In facet syndrome, due to wear and tear of the intervertebral discs with a reduction in height, there is a reduction in the distance between the individual joint bodies. The result can be increased wear of the joints with arthrosis or, for example, increased production of synovial fluid, which can lead to cysts on the facet joints.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-5iyaf-c277b872a4b0a6070e035d4e211992c7\">\n.avia-section.av-5iyaf-c277b872a4b0a6070e035d4e211992c7{\nbackground-color:#004225;\nbackground-image:unset;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div id='av_section_1'  class='avia-section av-5iyaf-c277b872a4b0a6070e035d4e211992c7 main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_third  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-9699'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-do610n-a88844068e88f92e2e1715136c59d13b\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-do610n-a88844068e88f92e2e1715136c59d13b{\npadding-bottom:10px;\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-do610n-a88844068e88f92e2e1715136c59d13b .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-do610n-a88844068e88f92e2e1715136c59d13b .special-heading-inner-border{\nborder-color:#ffffff;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-do610n-a88844068e88f92e2e1715136c59d13b .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-do610n-a88844068e88f92e2e1715136c59d13b av-special-heading-h3 custom-color-heading blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-7  el_before_av_three_fourth  avia-builder-el-first '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Do you need a personal consultation?<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-cfiinb-48d4eaa97b3f67e882dc881ca9dff403 av_three_fourth  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_heading  el_before_av_one_fourth  first flex_column_div  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-aojppj-4542a85a45c46d4652ffe08752058517\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-aojppj-4542a85a45c46d4652ffe08752058517 .avia_textblock{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-aojppj-4542a85a45c46d4652ffe08752058517 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>The specialists at the Orthop\u00e4die Zentrum M\u00fcnchen Ost will be happy to provide you with a medical consultation.

It is important that the diagnosis of facet syndrome is carried out extremely thoroughly in order to be able to exclude other diseases.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-l1irg2qa-21b146e48f85233cf46c297f77d22ae7\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-l1irg2qa-21b146e48f85233cf46c297f77d22ae7{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-l1irg2qa-21b146e48f85233cf46c297f77d22ae7 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-l1irg2qa-21b146e48f85233cf46c297f77d22ae7 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  id=\"facettensymdrom-symptome\"  class='av-special-heading av-l1irg2qa-21b146e48f85233cf46c297f77d22ae7 av-special-heading-h3 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-21  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Facet syndrome symptoms &#8211; how do they manifest?<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-l1irg8n0-09afc9ba074ebad7cea8c1006c1bcae3 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>The symptoms of facet syndrome can be very different and can also indicate other diseases. Back pain represents one of the main symptoms, which can occur only on one side or equally on both sides. In most cases, the symptoms worsen during the day, which is related to the constant load on the spine. At night, the pain usually disappears again, as there is short-term relief of the lumbar and cervical spine under rest. Other symptoms that may indicate facet syndrome:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"margin0\">\n<li>discomfort in the area of the hip or groin<\/li>\n<li>Cramps or pain in the legs (diffuse)<\/li>\n<li>pain increases with strain or hyperextension of the spine<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are all factors that are thought to cause disc herniation symptoms. With facet syndrome, you may also experience little to no pain. Pain is only evident during exertion.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-l1irgjc5-39b8d7611877b7598a546d24e18008f1\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-l1irgjc5-39b8d7611877b7598a546d24e18008f1{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-l1irgjc5-39b8d7611877b7598a546d24e18008f1 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-l1irgjc5-39b8d7611877b7598a546d24e18008f1 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  id=\"facettensymdrom-diagnose\"  class='av-special-heading av-l1irgjc5-39b8d7611877b7598a546d24e18008f1 av-special-heading-h3 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-23  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >What is the diagnosis of facet syndrome?<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-l1irgqyv-b73548feb0567cef69532bda93912cee '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>When diagnosing facet syndrome, the first step is a physical examination, during which the spine (intervertebral discs and also cervical vertebrae) is palpated, for example. This examination is important because facet syndrome can be confused with other back conditions. Among other things, it is checked whether the pain increases when the patient is bent backwards or whether the lumbar spine is restricted in its mobility. Other, diagnostic procedures that can be used when facet syndrome is suspected:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"margin0\">\n<li>X-ray functional examination<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A computed tomography scan or MRI may also be done to diagnose facet syndrome. These two procedures provide an accurate view into the spinal canal and can also reveal other conditions, such as spinal stenosis, scoliosis or a herniated disc. Another procedure is diagnostic facet injection, which is used to find the cause.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-l1irh4wr-a31dd42451e90a8b2c6400e522236001\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-l1irh4wr-a31dd42451e90a8b2c6400e522236001{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-l1irh4wr-a31dd42451e90a8b2c6400e522236001 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-l1irh4wr-a31dd42451e90a8b2c6400e522236001 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  id=\"facettemsymdrom-therapie\"  class='av-special-heading av-l1irh4wr-a31dd42451e90a8b2c6400e522236001 av-special-heading-h3 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-25  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >How can facet syndrome be treated?<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-l1irhnyw-8e0146c039e8a0ab09415ac507a21ab9 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>As a rule, facet syndrome can be treated with conservative measures. Medicinal pain therapy is an option, for example, and special pain patches can also be used. There are also many treatment methods in the field of physical pain therapy. Thus, very good results can be achieved with current or heat therapy. Other therapeutic measures for facet syndrome:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"margin0\">\n<li>Spinemed: A particularly gentle therapy (distraletion of the spine) with a built-in biofeedback mechanism.<\/li>\n<li>special relieving support girdles<\/li>\n<li>Physiotherapy and physical therapy<\/li>\n<li>Infiltration therapy: Using a drug cocktail of prednisolone, anesthetic and hyaluronic acid on the facets<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Particularly good results can be achieved with a therapeutic facet injection. A decisive advantage of this therapy is that the diseased vertebral joints can be treated specifically. A combination of anesthetic and cortisone or hyaluronic acid is injected. The pain and inflammation are relieved in the vertebral joints.<\/p>\n<p>If conservative measures are ineffective, minimally invasive surgery can also be performed. In a facet coagulation procedure, a special electrode is passed directly to the affected joint. As a result, electrical pulses cause heat to build up. The goal is to obliterate the responsible nerves and thus stop the pain. A particularly gentle therapy is Lumbo Cooled (Synergy Probe).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-l1iri226-c12274bdb59da92ffce78ea07efb4299\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-l1iri226-c12274bdb59da92ffce78ea07efb4299{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-l1iri226-c12274bdb59da92ffce78ea07efb4299 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-l1iri226-c12274bdb59da92ffce78ea07efb4299 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  id=\"facettensymdrom-vorbeugen\"  class='av-special-heading av-l1iri226-c12274bdb59da92ffce78ea07efb4299 av-special-heading-h3 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-27  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Can facet syndrome also be prevented?<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-l1iri8qu-cbaf5683a7f9f9db9bfdbd723b0358a9 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>As with many other back conditions or diseases, adequate exercise is important to prevent facet syndrome. Strengthened muscles are important to be able to prevent spondylolisthesis or facet syndrome. Sports that can be done include Nordic walking, flexibar, pull-ups, swimming, or even cycling.<\/p>\n<p>An ideal sport to prevent facet syndrome or to alleviate pain in case of an existing one is aqua gymnastics. The special fitness exercises in the water challenge your body without straining it. Your weight is carried by the water, so to speak, which makes this sport ideal even for overweight people. More tips to prevent facet syndrome:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"margin0\">\n<li>Back school to build up and strengthen the back muscles<\/li>\n<li>back-friendly sitting with special cushions or chairs<\/li>\n<li>Drink plenty of fluids to support the regeneration of the intervertebral disc during the night<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You should incorporate more exercise into your daily routine and avoid long periods of rest. Especially with sedentary jobs, even a short period of movement can have a preventive effect and strengthen your back. If you are overweight, weight reduction can also have a preventive effect.
