What
are facet joints? The lumbar spine has small joints, called facet
joints. These joints allow the spine to bend and twist;
however, they also keep the spine from bending too far or twisting
without limits. Nerve roots from the spinal cord pass by
the facet joints and continue to the back, legs, and other parts
of
the body.
