Specializes in General Practice

Facet joints: Pain in thoracic vertebral region with back extension in twenties male is unusual. This symptom usually reflects arthrosis of vertebral spine facet joints. Such symptoms are usually seen in older persons. This leads to concern whether there have been previous back injuries as occur in many young persons who are extreme sports enthusiasts. Osteopath is best doctor to diagnose and advise.
