Facet Syndrome Relief in Downtown Lebanon, Lebanon 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.
