Facet Syndrome Relief in Cool Springs, Franklin TN
Facet syndrome refers to pain coming from the small stabilizing joints that run along the back of the spine, which can become irritated or arthritic over time. It's a common source of chronic back and neck pain that's often overlooked in favor of disc-focused explanations.
Treating Facet Syndrome in Cool Springs
Long hours seated at a desk followed by an ill-timed twist or reach is a common setup for facet syndrome, since the joints along the spine can become irritated by sudden awkward movement after prolonged stillness. Dr. Wesley Stewart has spent 29 years helping patients across Williamson County address exactly that kind of strain.
In Cool Springs, Franklin's busy office and retail corridor, we regularly see facet syndrome in professionals whose desk-bound routines leave the spine more vulnerable to sudden irritation.

- Back pain that worsens with twisting or leaning back in a chair
