Lumbar facet syndrome

Musculoskeletal & Spine

Lumbar facet syndrome refers to pain arising from the small joints at the back of the lower spine. It is a common cause of lower back pain and develops gradually with age and wear. An MRI may show changes in the lumbar facet joints consistent with degeneration and inflammation. Identifying lumbar facet syndrome early allows for targeted treatment, including injections or physiotherapy, that may help manage pain.

SCReening explained
It’s important to understand that OneMRI's full-body scan is a general proactive health scan developed to include areas where preventative screening delivers the most meaningful insight in a way that is safe and non-invasive. The scan should be used to compliment other routine scans and screening. It should not replace standard screening protocols or targeted procedures as recommended by your doctor, specialist or health provider. Examples of these include mammogram, prostate examination, cervical screening, colonoscopy, and lung cancer screening.
