Worn Spinal Joints

Worn spinal joints (spinal osteoarthritis) is age-related degeneration of the small facet joints in your back or neck. The joints become stiff, the cartilage thins, and bone spurs can form. You may feel stiffness in the morning that eases with movement, aching after long periods sitting, and reduced flexibility. Targeted mobilization and a strengthening program for the supporting muscles can keep you moving comfortably.
