What Is Lumbar Facet Syndrome?

Facet joints are small joints located at the back of each vertebra. They help guide and control spinal movement while providing stability. In the lumbar spine (lower back), these joints bear significant stress from movement, posture, and load.

Facet syndrome occurs when these joints become inflamed, irritated, or degenerated, leading to persistent lower back pain and stiffness. Over time, facet joint degeneration can also cause nerve irritation, contributing to radiating pain into the buttocks or thighs.

Common Symptoms of Lumbar Facet Syndrome

• Aching or sharp pain in the lower back

• Pain that worsens with standing, arching, or twisting

• Morning stiffness or pain after prolonged sitting

• Limited range of motion in the lower spine

• Localized tenderness over the facet joints

• Occasional referred pain into the hips or legs (not true sciatica)

These symptoms often mimic other spinal conditions, so a thorough assessment is essential for accurate diagnosis.

What Causes Facet Joint Pain?

• Age-related degeneration or osteoarthritis

• Repetitive stress or poor posture

• History of back injuries

• Disc height loss, placing more pressure on the facet joints

• Muscle imbalances or lack of spinal mobility

Why SoftWave Therapy Is a Game-Changer for Facet Syndrome

SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive technology that delivers electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves into the deep tissues of the spine—targeting inflammation, degeneration, and tissue dysfunction at the cellular level.

Benefits of SoftWave for Facet Joint Pain:

• Reduces chronic inflammation in and around the facet joints

• Stimulates stem cell activation and migration to promote joint tissue repair

• Increases blood flow and angiogenesis, supporting nutrient delivery and healing

• Breaks down scar tissue and adhesions, restoring mobility

• Decreases pain and improves function without downtime, needles, or medication

SoftWave initiates a biological process called mechanotransduction, triggering regeneration deep within joint tissues—including cartilage, connective tissues, and supportive muscles surrounding the lumbar spine.

The Power of Combining SoftWave with Chiropractic Care

While SoftWave targets the tissue-level degeneration and inflammation, chiropractic adjustments help realign the spine, reduce pressure on affected joints, and restore proper movement patterns.

Chiropractic Benefits for Facet Syndrome:

• Corrects joint restrictions and subluxations

• Improves spinal mechanics and posture

• Enhances nerve communication and muscle function

• Reduces compensatory strain on other spinal segments

• Supports long-term prevention of further degeneration

Together, SoftWave and chiropractic care address both the structural and cellular components of facet joint dysfunction—providing a comprehensive and lasting solution for lower back pain.

What to Expect from Your Care Plan

Dr. Jeremiah creates a customized treatment plan based on your condition, symptoms, and lifestyle goals. A typical care plan includes:

• 6 to 8 SoftWave sessions, spaced weekly, on average

• Chiropractic adjustments to restore alignment and function

• Targeted mobility and movement recommendations

• Optional integration with Active Release Technique (ART) or red light therapy when appropriate

Patients commonly report:

• Reduced low back pain within the first few sessions

• Improved mobility and flexibility

• Less reliance on medications and repeat spinal injections

• Enhanced comfort with daily movements like walking, bending, or lifting
