Can the belt help Facet Joint Hypertrophy (Facet Joint Arthritis, Facet Joint Degeneration)?
By reducing pressure on the facet joint surfaces, the belt can help to alleviate facet joint pain; just like reducing pressure on any arthritic joint can help to relieve the pain of the joint. Without the continued pressure as an irritant to the joint, it is more likely that the joint would respond favorably to antiinflamatory nutriceuticals or medications, and possibly no longer require medication.
