The cervical facet joints have long been identified as a potential pain generator for neck pain. The facet joints are located in the posterior portion of the cervical spine and the paired synovial joints articulate between adjacent vertebrae. The coronal oblique orientation of the joints allows great...
Facet joint pain results in referral patterns to the head, shoulders, and upper extremities. Both the synovium and capsule of each facet are richly supplied with nociceptor terminals. Medial branches innervate these facet joints sending afferent pain signals by way of A, D, and C fibers to ...
Spondylosis is the term for progressive bony changes of the spine. Spinal degeneration begins with loss of intervertebral disc height, leading to changes in disc and spinal ligaments. Altered patterns of load-bearing in the spine arise with resultant sclerosis of the vertebral body, uncovertebral j...
The surgeon can approach thecervical spinefrom the front (anterior) or the back (posterior). Approaching from the front might be used to remove the disks and spurs that are causing pressure. The disk may be replaced with an implant. A more extensive surgery calls for the removal of both di...

Pain attributed to muscle and its surrounding fascia is termed myofascial pain, with cervical myofascial pain thought to occur following either overuse or trauma to the muscles that support the shoulders and neck. In the cervical spine, the muscles most
The intervertebral disc is a functional unit connecting 2 vertebral bodies of the spine. The disc absorbs shock, accommodates movement, provides support, and separates vertebral bodies to lend height to intervertebral foramina. The disc consists of 3 structural components; an eccentrically located ...
