Facet unloading refers to a technique used in spinal surgery to relieve pressure on the facet joints, which are small joints located between the vertebrae in the spine. This procedure often involves removing bone or tissue to alleviate pain and restore mobility by reducing inflammation and irritation in the affected area. It is typically performed in cases of spinal stenosis or facet joint syndrome. Facet unloading can help improve the patient's quality of life by addressing chronic Back pain.
