Facet joint pain

Facet joint pain comes from irritation in the small joints at the back of the spine that help guide movement. It often causes local pain and stiffness, especially with twisting, extending, or prolonged standing. The discomfort can affect daily movement and may flare after heavy lifting or repetitive spinal loading.
