Facet joints are where the bones of the spine (vertebrae) meet and they allow your back to be flexible and enable you to bend and twist. Nerves exit the spinal cord through the facet joints to serve the rest of the body. When injury or age causes the cartilage of facet joints to deteriorate, the nerves can become compressed and the vertebrae can start to grind on one another. This causes pain. A rhizotomy…
