Consultant-led care for facet joint pain,
helping to relieve spinal joint pain, stiffness,

UNDERSTANDING FACET JOINT PAIN
Facet joint pain can cause localised back pain, stiffness and reduced flexibility, making everyday activities more difficult. It can affect your ability to stand, walk, twist or work, and may also disturb your sleep.
A detailed evaluation of your symptoms, medical history and examination.
We use advanced imaging, such as MRI or X-ray, to identify facet joint changes and rule out other causes.
A personalised treatment plan including image-guided injections or other minimally invasive options.
A structured rehabilitation programme to restore movement, strength and confidence, with ongoing support.
