The nucleus of your disc is a soft, jelly like substance that acts as a shock absorber for your body.
ICD-10 code M51. 36 for Other intervertebral disc degeneration, lumbar region is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Dorsopathies .
Definition/Description. Lumbar facet syndrome refers to a dysfunction at the level of the posterior facet joints of the spine. These joints together with the disc form the intervertebral joint. Changes at the level of the posterior facet joints can influence the disc and vice versa.
Lumbar facet arthropathy, also called facet joint arthritis or facet joint syndrome, refers to lower back pain caused by inflammation of the facet joints that connect one vertebra to another in the spine and the cartilage that lines them.
The facet joints are the connections between the bones of the spine. The nerve roots pass through these joints to go from the spinal cord to the arms, legs and other parts of the body. These joints also allow the spine to bend and twist, and they keep the back from slipping too far forward or twisting without limits.
