Relieve Cervical Facet Arthrosis Complaints in Heusden
Work on the movement in your neck and move more freely, with less pain, stiffness and headache from facet arthrosis in the neck
Are neck complaints from facet arthrosis holding you back?
Cervical facet arthrosis is osteoarthritis in the small facet joints in your neck. The cartilage in these joints changes gradually, which can cause pain, stiffness and sometimes headache. You often notice it when turning your head, sitting still for a long time or getting up in the morning.
The facet joints are the small joints at the back of your spine. In the neck they give your head the freedom to turn, bend and tilt. When these joints move less freely, neck complaints and cervical facet complaints can develop, also known as cervical facet syndrome.
At Waterland Chiropractie Heusden we first trace the cause, then create a personal treatment plan aimed at more movement and less strain on your neck joints.
Understanding Cervical Facet Arthrosis
Common Causes:
Natural changes in the joints as you get older
An old neck injury or whiplash that put extra strain on the joints in the past
A prolonged forward-bent posture, for example during screen work or on the phone
Overloading through heavy or one-sided work
A family tendency towards osteoarthritis
Symptoms May Include:
Pain and stiffness in the neck, often worse when bending back or turning
Start-up pain and stiffness after rest or in the morning
Reduced movement, for example when looking over your shoulder
A headache that pulls from the neck to the back of the head
Radiating pain into the shoulder or between the shoulder blades
Impact on Daily Life:
Facet arthrosis in the neck can make turning your head hard, for example while driving
Screen work and sitting still take more effort
You often start sparing your neck, which can put extra strain on your posture and shoulders
Sleeping through the night can become harder

How Chiropractic Care Can Help
At Waterland Chiropractie Heusden your chiropractor first examines where the complaint comes from, with a thorough movement assessment of your neck and, where needed, a scan. We then use targeted, measured techniques to work on the movement and loading of your neck joints. Osteoarthritis itself cannot be reversed, but many people experience fewer complaints when the joints move more freely again.
