The question rather broad. For one thing it does not isolate the spine region.

The facet joints are non- load bearing joints in the spine. They guide the motion of the spine while the disks bear the load. Facets can degenerate for several reasons. Disease or pathology. Trauma ( direct or from loadbearing). Congenital anomaly. The result will be arthritic pain or worse if the articular nerves are effected or the facet hypertrophies to the point of putting pressure on the exiting nerve root.
