Are you experiencing localized back pain, neck stiffness, or discomfort when bending or twisting? These may be signs of facet joint dysfunction—a condition affecting the small joints at the back of your spine. At Redlands Chiropractic, we provide gentle, non-surgical treatments that restore mobility, reduce inflammation, and relieve joint pain naturally.
What Is Facet Joint Dysfunction?
Facet joints are small stabilizing joints located between and behind adjacent vertebrae. When these joints become inflamed, irritated, or misaligned, they can cause sharp pain, reduced flexibility, and even muscle spasms.
This condition can be caused by:
● Poor posture or spinal misalignment
● Degenerative disc disease
● Whiplash or trauma from auto accidents
● Repetitive motion or heavy lifting
● Osteoarthritis or aging-related changes
Symptoms of Facet Joint Dysfunction
● Localized neck or back pain
● Pain that worsens with movement or prolonged standing
● Discomfort when leaning backward or twisting
● Stiffness and reduced range of motion
● Pain radiating into the shoulders, buttocks, or thighs (without nerve symptoms)
Chiropractic Solutions for Facet Joint Pain
At Redlands Chiropractic, we focus on reducing joint stress and restoring proper alignment using non-invasive, whole-body care.
✔ Spinal Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments help restore mobility, relieve joint compression, and promote natural
healing.
✔ Soft Tissue Therapy
We address surrounding muscle tightness and ligament strain to reduce inflammation and improve support.
✔ Posture Correction & Ergonomic Coaching
Correcting slouching, misalignment, and daily movement habits can prevent recurring pain.

X-rays may be used to confirm facet joint involvement and rule out other conditions like spondylolisthesis or disc herniation.
