Arthritis of the lumbar facet joints is known to cause severe low back pain. These facet joints are small joints that link each vertebra together providing stability and movement. These joints are in constant motion, especially when we extend our back and twist, and commonly wear out or become degenerated. A connective and lubricating tissue, known as articular cartilage, covers the surfaces where these joints meet. Like other joints in the body that are covered with connective tissue/cartilage, these joints can become affected by arthritis.
