What Is Thoracic Facet Syndrome?
Thoracic facet syndrome refers to inflammation or degeneration of the facet joints in the mid-back region of the spine. These joints connect each vertebra and are crucial for flexibility and movement. When the facet joints in the thoracic spine become irritated or worn down, it can result in pain, stiffness, and discomfort during everyday activities.
