概要

Welcome to the Oklahoma Low Back Pain Today Patient-Centered Education Podcast, produced by the Spine and Joint Treatment Specialists at Elite Pain and Health and directed by Dr. Keley John Booth, MD. In this episode we explain lumbar facet arthropathy — arthritis of the small hinge joints in the lower back — and why it causes that sudden ‘‘catch’’ or deep ache when you stand, lean back, or twist.

We describe typical symptoms (worse with extension, better when sitting or leaning forward—the “shopping cart sign”), common causes (age-related wear, degenerative disc changes, repetitive strain, poor core strength), and how it differs from disc-related sciatica. We also cover how specialists diagnose it, including the limits of imaging and the role of diagnostic medial branch blocks.

Finally, we review management strategies: core strengthening, posture correction, weight management, targeted interventional options, and when to see a specialist. For more information visit epainhealth.com or call 405-444-7246.
