Along with pain and stiffness of the spine, Lumbar Facet Joint problems often have associated spasms to the muscles close to the spine which can pull the patient out of alignment. This can lead to an un-natural, guarded posture.

At David Roberts Physio, our Physiotherapists often hear patients report: “I just bent over to tie my shoe laces and my back went and I was stuck”. The usual acute attack of back pain involving facet joints occurs suddenly with no warning. It can appear dramatic and patients are in much discomfort and cannot move very well. However, degeneration of the Lumbar Facet Joint is part of the natural ageing process.

Lumbar spine pain can come from a variety of structures, from disc to joints to muscles…

Our Manchester physiotherapy teams understand how vital to successful management of these kind of problems that thorough assessment and diagnosis are.
