The spine is what allows us to move with flexibility and is made up of the vertebrae, facet joints and intervertebral discs. The facet joints work like hinges. They stabilise the spine and are located behind the vertebrae. They control the level of flexibility (bending and twisting) and stability, making sure the body can move appropriately, without excessive motion.The joints are surrounded by a fluid (synovial fluid) that acts like a grease, reducing friction and allowing the joints to move effectively. These joints are constantly moving with the spine and can suffer from wear and tear. If this happens, the cartilage that surrounds them can also wear and sometimes disappear. This can often cause pain.
