Core Tip This review emphasizes the importance of the zygapophysial joints (z-joints) as a pain generator. Taking the historic or the physical examination are not helpful in identifying z-joint pain. The prevalence of z-joint pain increases with age, and it often comes along with other pain sources. The focus is on the significance of z-joint pain in elaborated patient groups in which z-joint pain is clinically relevant but does not occur as an isolated and independent disease. Diagnostic methods and the treatment with radiofrequency neurotomy are discussed.
