Facet joints are small joints between your vertebrae that run along the outside of your spine. Facet joint dysfunction can occur when a small piece of connective tissue between the joints gets pinched or folded, resulting in a “locked” facet.  It can also be caused by age-related degeneration of the cartilage that covers those joints. Facet dysfunction is most common in the neck, but can occur at any level of the spine. Click here to learn more.
