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.
