Symptoms of facet syndrome in BWS

The facet syndrome is a common cause of back pain. It can occur briefly due to acute blockages, but more frequently in degenerative changes of the spine due to wear and tear of the intervertebral joints. In the area of the thoracic spine, facet syndrome can cause pain in the thorax and during breathing in addition to local back pain.

Exercises that improve the strength and stability of the spine are used in the treatment of facet syndrome as well as exercises to improve coordination. Postural training and learning how to behave in a way that is appropriate for the back are essential to prevent further overloading. Manual mobilization techniques as well as soft tissue techniques are used in therapy. Since particularly compressive loads can irritate the facet joints, jogging, for example, can cause complaints.
