Abstract

Unlike most of the joints, the facet joint is formed side-to-side. Considering the way the spinal facet is formed, it appears that the human being was probably created to live with the spine in the horizontal position (Fig. 1). The fact that humans stand upright probably has increased the frequency of spinal trouble. As a consequence of the dynamics of the spinal column, the most frequent disroders are disc and joint diseases. Whereas the diagnostic and therapeutic measurement of disc disorders are well known, the joint disorders seem to have been much neglected.
