There is, unfortunately, still no ICD-10 code for facet syndrome. But, M53. 8- other specified dorsopathiescan be used just like the old ICD-9 code. It is the "other" code, which means it can be used for a specified condition like facet syndrome.
Displacement, Lumbar Intervertebral Disc Without Myelopathy Displacement of a lumbar disc refers to protrusion or herniation of the nucleus pulposus, of the cushion-like disc resting between any two of the five lumbar vertebrae (vertebrae L1 through L5) in the lower spine.
Herniation of the nucleus pulposus (HNP) occurs when the nucleus pulposus (gel-like substance) breaks through the anulus fibrosus (tire-like structure) of an intervertebral disc (spinal shock absorber).

Displacement of a cervical intervertebral disc refers to protrusion or herniation of the disc between two adjacent bones (vertebrae) of the cervical spine in the neck (vertebrae C2 through C7).
Cervical spondylosis without myelopathy is a condition where wear and tear accumulate in your neck, without putting pressure on the spinal cord. The spine is a column of bones called vertebrae, which support your body. In between the vertebrae are spongy tissues called discs. The discs act to cushion your spine.
If many people in a family have spondylosis, there is likely to be a stronger genetic predisposition to spondylosis. Spinal injury is also a risk factor for spondylosis. Injuries can cause intervertebral discs to herniate. Also, osteoarthritis is more likely to develop in injured joints, including joints in the spine.
Causes of myelopathy include spinal stenosis, spinal trauma and spinal infections, as well as autoimmune, oncological, neurological and congenital disorders. Myelopathy can be cervical and thoracic; cervical myelopathy is the most prevalent. Myelopathy is typically a gradual degenerative process affecting older adults.
Lumbar disc degeneration is defined as the wear and tear of lumbar intervertebral disc, and it is mainly occurring at L3-L4 and L4-S1 vertebrae. Lumbar disc degeneration may lead to disc bulging, osteophytes, loss of disc space, and compression and irritation of the adjacent nerve root.
Radiculopathy Treatment Options Medication, such as pain relievers, muscle relaxers and anti-inflammatory drugs, to reduce pain and inflammation. Steroid injections or oral steroids to relieve swelling and inflammation around the nerve root. Activity modification to prevent worsening of the pain.
This age-related condition is called lumbar spondylosis. It's also frequently called arthritis of the lower back and results in chronic lower back pain that worsens with age and increases with movement. When this condition occurs in the neck, it's called cervical spondylosis.
