How We Help Facet Joint Syndrome!
Facet Joint Syndrome occurs as a result of aging, injuries, or constant pressure on the facet joints. Most of the damage that impacts the facet joints is from typical wear-and-tear on the body, but damage can also arise from an injury to the back or neck or degenerative disc disease. The process of Facet Joint Syndrome starts when the cartilage covering the facet joints begins to deteriorate, causing the joints to swell and stiffen. This causes the vertebrae bones to make contact with each other without any cushion between then. This occurrence may result in bone spurs on the edges of the facet joints, and it may begin to affect other areas near the spine such as the cervical area (neck, shoulders, and head) and the lumbar area (hips, buttocks, and back of the thighs).
Traditionally, facet joint syndrome treatments consist of pain management pills with terrible side effects or surgeries with grueling recovery periods such as a Facet Rhizotomy or Facet bone fusion. However, at Foothill Family Chiropractic in La Verne, we provide an effective treatment called spinal decompression that is absent of medication and invasive procedures. Spinal decompression therapy takes a holistic approach to pain relief through the utilization of a computerized table that makes precise adjustments to the spine.

Our Online Reviews
Foothill Family Chiropractic is unique in their approach to treatment. Dr. Mehr treated my back injury over 6 years ago after an auto accident. He treated me with decompression treatment, which my previous chiropractor didn't do. And I have been pain free since then. I recently saw him for an adjustment for some tightness in my lower back.
Dr. Mehr is unique because he listens to you then educates you on your issue then explains the customized treatment to help you get better. As a dentist, my back and neck are important. Dr. Mehr has kept my back and neck in good health. *
Caring staff. It is truly a family! Dr. Mehr is an amazing healer. He treated my lower back pain with decompression and laser. *

I am 71 yrs old and have never been to a chiropractor. For a year I had been suffering with chronic, sometimes crippling nerve pain. My son recommended Dr Mehr @Foothill Family Chiropractic. Dr. Mehr and his friendly, competent staff immediately put me at ease. With his decompression treatments I am able to walk better often with no pain. Here’s to more and more pain free days. I highly recommend Foothill Family Chiropractic.*

You don't have to live with pain. I went there because I suffered a chronic back pain. That made me gain weight and I was unable to do any kind of sport. After almost 3 months of spinal decompression, therapy and adjustment I can said that I'm free of pain. But you have to be committed with the program and follow their instructions. The only difficult part is the logistic of going there 3 times per week, other than that you just have to go there and relax. They will make you feel better! *

I have seen Chiropractors off and on for over 20 years. Dr Mehr is by far the best chiropractor I have ever gone to. In fact, after incurring a back injury in January 2023 I started with a particular chiropractor who was recommending surgery at my third appointment.
I was looking for a non-surgical solution.
I then came to Dr Mehr needing to use a low back brace to stand up. I brought x-rays and an MRI I had done with me. He explained what they were showing and what treatment he would recommend. Through spinal decompression and chiropractic adjustments, by April 2023 I did not need to use the back brace anymore.
Recently, September 2024, Dr Mehr took x-rays of my neck. After educating me to what they were showing, we started neck decompression treatments. Within a month of these treatments I am already seeing increased mobility, strength and balance.
Going to Dr Mehr is the best decision I ever made. He is very knowledgeable, very skilled and very friendly. He cares about his patients and does his best to help them get, and stay, healthy. I HIGHLY recommend Foothill Family Chiropractic. They are the BEST. *
