Facet joint syndrome is very common diagnosis clinically in back pain clinic,
but it really happen?
Severe lower back pain starting after a twist while lifting is often due to a
locked facet joint.
The initially injury can occur earlier and then a gentle twist of the back
such as turning in bed can cause the joint to lock causing severe pain. The pain
is often worse on one side and usually causes more pain on leaning backwards as
well as pain on leaning forwards. People who have this problem recurrently are
said to have facet joint syndrome, a weakness of muscle control of the
lower back causing the facet joints to lock from time to time. The pain
is due to muscle spasm as the lower back muscles try and unlock the joint.(Quote
from medical center web)
From my practice experence, Patient can completely recover by zak's deep and
intensive acupuncture,without any unlock techniques. So I just wouder is it
right name about facet joint syndrome locking?
What's your opinion?
Small
synovial incarcerated. As more mild acute lumbar sprain, so embedded in
synovial joints between small, resulting in small interlocking joints or
dislocation, spinal activities restricted. Immediately after the injury
occurred extraordinary pain so that patients can not tolerate. Patients often
unavailable lateral, emotional tension, muscle tension, dare not move for fear
of touching or moving others, the activities of any spine, coughing, vibration
will cause pain increased. Because of pain, muscle for the protection of
muscular spasm, lumbar is flat or slightly later convex or scoliosis. The top
synovial swelling at the intervertebral foramen can stimulate the nerve root
and produce radioactive pain in the past when firefighters heavier, and bent
down when taut synovial stimulate alleviate pain also light. But the disease
mainly mainly to low back pain, nerve root stimulation fewer symptoms.
Lumbar facet syndrome disorder have what is the reason?
The small joints of the lumbar flexion and extension, the mobile 5-7mm, joint
capsule also come to Mobile,
flexion at the joint capsule tension relaxation time extension. When the waist
of a sudden twisting or sudden flash without preparations, the lumbosacral
joint after a small margin after the gap opened, negative pressure within the
joints, can be inhaled synovial joint space. At this time, lumbar back stretch
suddenly, it may not synovial withdraw from the folder was inserted between the
articular surface, causing small synovial incarcerated or small dislocation
caused severe pain in the waist. Synovial joints by the squeezing of causing
serious injury, resulting in congestion and edema, and joint synovial capsule
is rich in feeling and motor nerve fibers, can cause severe pain and muscle
reflex spasm.
Lumbar facet syndrome how to treat disorders?
Lumbar facet syndrome disorder in the acute phase of treatment is bed rest,
painkillers may be oral, mitigating and eliminating muscle spasm, reducing the
pressure on the intervertebral joint, synovial incarcerated for the withdrawal
of very effective.
Traction : patients prone position, abdominal pad pillow, with two hands were
ankle has been slow to 1min traction, and then gradually loosened, 1min repeat
traction after several consecutive weeks after bed rest.
Acupuncture : admission Shendhu, Yaoyangguan, FD, Qihai, Ashi, after
acupuncture and cupping.
Treatment : Solutions practices may synovial incarceration, restore normal
