Cervical facet syndrome is a condition that plagues the facet joints of the spine. These joints help you to twist and bend, while simultaneously preventing you from going too far or in the wrong direction. The facet joints act as connectors to the spinal bones, providing additional support and greater flexibility.

When the cartilage between the facet joints become thin and brittle, flakes break off into the synovial joint fluid that aids in movement. Cervical facet joint pain erupts when degeneration of the joint cartilage leads to friction between the bones that have lost cartilage.

To treat this condition, seek an immediate diagnosis from an experienced spine specialist like Dr. Branko Skovrlj in Edison, NJ. Neck-related injuries and degenerative conditions can lead to disability. Dr. Skovrlj is a spine surgeon at NU-Spine, The Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery Institute, and he’s amply qualified to alleviate your neck pain.
