The facet joints are the connectors between the vertebrae in your spine. Just like any other joint, they allow us to maneuver by bending and twisting. In facet arthrosis, these joints can become irritated and inflamed. This results in a stiffening of the back, some stiffness in the neck, and can have further complications if untreated.
