For any individuals who are struggling with an aching, dull pain in the back of their neck or their lower back, it could be a sign of facet syndrome. New York Spine Institute has helped several people recover from facet syndrome and provide high-quality care in everything related to necks, backs and spines.*
Facet syndrome is a natural degeneration that happens with age. It’s an arthritis-like condition where the cartilage within the joints begins to naturally wear and become thinner. The conjoining vertebrae will then rub directly against one another, which can result in inflammation or swelling. At the New York Spine Institute, we can help treat facet syndrome. We are dedicated to treating you with the best care possible to recover in the most stable way possible.*
At New York Spine Institute, our professional doctors pride themselves on giving high quality care and services to our neck, back and spine patients.
