Facet joint irritation

Facet joint irritation

Care for facet joint irritation begins with identifying the cause through a thorough evaluation. For lower-back pain, care may include chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, massage, and lifestyle recommendations, while DeFabio Chiropractic’s approach adds orthopedic and neurological examinations, strength and range-of-motion testing, and X-rays when appropriate.

After the cause is identified, the pain-relief phase may use chiropractic adjustments, muscle stimulation, laser therapy, Graston Therapy, TECCAR Winback Therapy, or Shockwave Therapy. The correction phase may include posture work, corrective exercise with cueing, assisted stretching, rehabilitative conditioning, and active care or lifestyle modification.

DeFabio Chiropractic begins with a thorough examination and accurate diagnosis before recommending treatment. The care plan may include chiropractic care, physical rehabilitation, movement training, or other non-surgical options when appropriate for the findings.
