In New York City and northern New Jersey, you don’t have to wait until you become immobilized with pain. Call one of the eight convenient locations at the first sign of trouble.
Thoracic facet syndrome is a degenerative spine condition that causes the thoracic facet joints of your spine to deteriorate so they become painful and stiff. The thoracic facet joints connect the thoracic vertebrae in your back to the side of your spine in the middle portion of your back. These joints provide stability, support and mobility to your spine.
Regular wear and tear erodes the cartilage and causes inflammation. This spinal condition, which is also called thoracic osteoarthritis and thoracic facet disease, affects your mobility and your quality of life. Because of these factors, you should seek immediate attention by a spine specialist if you suspect you have thoracic facet syndrome.
Dr. Amr Hosny and his team of spine doctors at the Spine & Rehab Group use the latest medical technology and practices for effective thoracic facet syndrome treatment. The team operates out of eight state-of-the-art locations spread across New York City and northern New Jersey.

It all depends on the nerves that are compromised and the extent of the facet degradation. Symptoms of thoracic facet syndrome may include:

Great people and service. Everything is explained and their main purpose is to help people not keep patients. I have gone for 2nd opinions and always come back here for the treatment. The only down side to the NJ offices is they only have appointments Mondays and Wednesdays which can be tough scheduling wise. But not enough of a downfall to go someplace else.
