How Chiropractors Can Help with Facet Tropism in the Lumbar and Cervical Spine


Facet tropism (FT) refers to the difference in the orientation of facet joints with respect to each other in the sagittal plane. FT leads to unequal biomechanical forces on the facet joint and the intervertebral disc during rotation and other physiologic movements


Facet Tropism is SIGNIFICANTLY associated with Lumbar disc Herniations and Lumbar Degenerative Spondylolisthesis as well as cervical degenerative disease
