Facet Syndrome Relief in Green Hills, Nashville 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 Green Hills
Facet syndrome is a common but often-overlooked source of chronic back and neck pain, since it's easy to assume ongoing stiffness is simply a disc issue rather than an issue with the spine's small stabilizing joints. Dr. Wesley Stewart has spent 29 years across Middle Tennessee, including Nashville, helping patients identify that distinction.
Patients from Green Hills, Nashville's busy shopping and dining district, often come in after years of intermittent back stiffness that turns out to be facet-related.
